Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had just been finished recently, so the rooms were of a high standard. They were serviced daily with changes to sheets and towels every other day, making for a clean and comfortable stay. While the room size was good, some found the bathroom to be quite small.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The location was fantastic, right below the Venetian fort and on the edge of the old town, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were spacious with great amenities, though the bathroom was a bit small. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was excellent with a wide selection of food available. Overall, a wonderful final stopover at the end of my holiday.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant final stopover at the end of our holiday. The room was newly finished to a high standard despite being a bit dark with a small bathroom and an average view. The front rooms provided a shield from the night time disco noise, a plus point.
