"We loved our stay at Hotel Palazzo Achates. The location was within easy walking distance to the main restaurant and shopping area. There are a couple of great lively spots just around the corner from the hotel than we would stop for a drink. Our room was clean and looked newly renovated. We appreciated the patio for a little quiet time after our busy days. Communication with the staff was quick and helpful. We would stay here again,"

"Helt perfekt läge supernära centrumgatorna, en kort bit upp på en tvärgata vilket gör att det är nära men ändå lugnt. Ingen personal i receptionen men går att nå via WhatsApp. Badkar inne i sovrummet men mer snyggt än praktiskt. Kaffemaskin på rummet men vår funkade inte trots att de försökte laga den. Som tur var fann en maskin även i korridoren. Dåligt med förvaringsplats och inga krokar att hänga nåt på. Inget att sitta på förutom sängen. Går inte att tända sänglamporna separat vilket gör att...
