La Penne Vacations from ￥181,754

As always, the photos were impressive and made the rooms appear spacious, but unfortunately, they were not. Overall, the experience was disappointing, particularly due to the air-conditioning not functioning properly. On a positive note, the location was excellent.

The hotel itself feels a bit dated and needs renovation. Our city view junior suite basically stares out into the balcony of apartment buildings across the street. Our room felt quite old but clean.

The room was clean and spacious. It suited our needs well. The staff were kind and helpful when we needed them. The AC worked well for the most part. We had a slight issue one day, but they were able to sort it out for us pretty quickly. Really nice and conveniently located. Just note that there are stairs to the first floor/reception and no elevator.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! The location is perfectly walkable, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the lounge offers free coffee all day. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, complete with a kitchenette (microwave, fridge, kettle, stovetop, and espresso machine). I loved all the design touches throughout the space. My only suggestion would be to add safety handles/bars in the shower/tub area to make it easier and safer to step out.

The property was ideally placed for foot access to the Old Town, the bay, the Port, the market and for public transport to art museums and the airport. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and very helpful. The room faced onto the street so nights were sometimes disturbed by groups of people talking loudly outside the cafe below, but traffic noise was not a problem. We really enjoyed our stay, and very much hoping to return one day.
