Pros:

Dans l'hyper centre ville
Beau bâtiment historique et belle décoration
Literie confortable
Proximité immédiate des restos et boutiques
Assez proche de la plage, 15 min de marche
Grande plage de sable à proximité
Contact agréable avec l'hôte
Notre hôte nous a gardé notre bagage le matin pour nous permettre d'explorer librement la ville

Cons:

Pas de place dans la rue pour déposer ses bagages, il faut bloquer la circulation ou aller directement garer sa voiture au parking public payant qui est à 250m

Felt like a Princess!👸
Pros:

I absolutely loved this hotel! I honestly felt like a princess staying here. The bed was huge and super comfortable, the bathroom was great, and you really can't beat the location right in the heart of the Old Town.

I was traveling solo, so having such a welcoming place to stay made a huge difference. A special thank you to Eleni, who was so kind, accommodating, and genuinely lovely. Whenever I had a question or needed anything, she replied so quickly. That was priceless, especially being new to the area. She made me feel comfortable, well looked after, and safe throughout my stay.

Thank you for making my stay so special! I had a wonderful time and would happily stay here again. I highly recommend this place!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Pros:

Struttura centralissima, staff cortese e disponibile, camera pulita e ben organizzata

Cons:

Il terzo letto purtroppo è una poltrona sofà e nonostante il topper era durissimo. Nel vicolo c’è un locale che rende impossibile l’apertura delle finestre per via dei fumi della cucina

Pros:

Excelente location, loads of charm and period features. Spacious bedrooms with all the modern things one might need. Eleni was very welcoming.

Cons:

Not that it would stop me going back to the property but I thought it had an option to have breakfast there. There were loads of other places around for that so not an issue.

Много приятно изживяване
Pros:

Прекрасна локация, страхотен интериор

Cons:

През нощта е малко шумно от развеселени туристи, няма паркинг , най-близкия е на 300 м. Иначе е отбелязан като хотел с паркинг.

En el centro en un edificio histórico
Pros:

Ubicación fantástica en el centro histórico y muy cerca del aparcamiento del puerto. Resulta encantador alojarte en un edificio del siglo XVI.

Cons:

La decoración de la habitación se podría mejorar ya que se trata de un edificio del siglo XVI, pero del cual no sé, resalta lo suficiente su belleza. El baño muy limitado con la tapa del inodoro, pequeña e inadecuada para su tamaño muy incómodo. Los colchones algo incómodos

Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel direkt in der Altstadt in einer Seitengasse gelegen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön ausgestattet und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und ordentlich. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und haben viele gute Tipps für Ausflüge, Restaurants,... erhalten.
Wir können das Leo Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Da die Altstadt für den Autoverkehr gesperrt ist, muss man sich einige Hundert Meter entfernt einen öffentlichen (kostenfreien) Parkplatz suchen, was fast immer möglich war. Ansonsten stehen auch kostenpflichtige Parkplätze in der Umgebung zur Verfügung.

Cons:

Da es keinen Aufzug gibt,
sind die Zimmer in den oberen Etagen bei Bewegungseinschränkungen schlecht erreichbar
