Just wonderful
Pros:

Really I liked everything (and I am usually a very critical consumer). The staff were completely kind, efficient, and pleasant. The room was clean and had all amenities - A/C, wifi, coffee/tea, a very nice size, lots of character - even extra blankets/pillows and a hair dryer, two things I always want at hotels. The breakfast was wonderful, with beautiful fresh fruit and juices, terrific omelettes and served in a lovely patio. The pool is small, warm & charming. The location is ideal for tourists - very close to the port, but more easygoing for tourists, close to cafes, shops, art galleries. Especially nice: we had emergency changes due to the Middle East war and the staff went out of their way to accommodate. The cost is totally reasonable & excellent value for money.

Cons:

It would be nice if the king bed was made up with king-sized sheets covering the space between two smaller beds, but this is really tiny. The wifi was a bit unstable & there were a few power outages but this was a problem of the whole neighborhood, not the hotel - and the staff was able to restore power with a generator quickly. Frankly there are no reservations at all.

Pros:

The location is very good, the staff seemed very nice and the place was clean.

Cons:

They had problems with their sewage system and were digging up the garden to solve it; because of all this we were put into two different rooms for our two-night stay. The second, 'regular' room was really not big enough for two people. There was some confusion as to the availability of breakfast.
The hotel sewerage system apparently can't cope with toilet paper – I would suggest that the signs in the rooms need to flag this instead of 'paper towels'…

This is an absolutely lovely hotel, perfectly located, charming historic building and very nice rooms. The staff are efficient, friendly, helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, have character, and all amenities, from AC, to coffee and even a hair dryer. Generous breakfast, and there's a tiny but charming pool. Excellenr value for money and our highest recommendation.

The tariff was very high compared to the facilities.
Pros:

The staff was very courteous and helpful.
The room was spacious,airy ans well lit.
Breakfast had no variety and not commensurate with the price of the room.
Only white bread was being served, no cereal was on offer.
Coffee was very ordinary.

Cons:

It should be indicated that the hotel has no lift and one has to climb and down the steps.

Pros:

Breakfast was limited. Location is excellent. The room (Standard Double Room) is small but totally functional. Would have been nice to have had hanging space in the cupboard. The staff is very polite and ready to assist.
