Great location for tourists

Location was in the heart of the old town and within a few minutes walk of the bus stop. Room was spacious and bathroom had toiletries provided. Had breakfast on 1 morning which was nice and buffet style with a small cooked selection at a cost of €15pp

Location is awesome. Few steps away from St, Basilica and a lot of good restaurants. The only thing I didn’t like was the bath towels are limited. We requested for extra bath towels but they called us back after few minutes in our room and asking questions why do we need more towels and mentioned that bath towels are meant for five people but there were only 2 of us in the room. It was so hot during our stay. Of course, we need to take a shower and refresh everyday. That’s the only reason I put 4 stars but other than that their. suite room is pretty big and clean hotel.

It was a great stay. The location was the best, i had no problems during my stay. The room was very nice and clean, the staff was mostly friendly. The only thing i can say is that event though it was off season and the hotel was clearly not fully booked, they didnt let me extend checkout time even for an hour. Sometimes you just have to take initiative to help out a solo traveler whos been there a few days with no problems, no requests…

We didn’t interact with any of the staff except when we checked in. Hence, the rating about the staff. The only thing I could mention is the taxi always seem to get lost when bringing as back to out hotel. But other than that, it is a good location.

Overall it’s a nice hotel. It’s in an excellent location, it’s clean, etc…I only gave it four stars and not 5 because we had an attic room and the air conditioner was out for the hotel, so it was a bit uncomfortable. Also, our windows faced up to the sky and not out to the street so no view. I will say the hotel invested in great remote windows and shades that fortunately helped us get through the heat. I would recommend the hotel, maybe just confirm if the airs working.
