Would definitely stay again
Pros:

I had a fantastic and perfect stay at the Bear and ween. The hotel is beautiful decorated giving a unique boutique hotel vibe and the bed was super comfortable. The location in Spinola is perfect and just a short walk to the bus stop, restaurants and the waterfront. The complimentary breakfast was a lovely bonus. Last but not least the amazing staff who handled the check in, cleaning and the booking. Overall everything exceeded expectations.

Cons:

None

7/10 at best
Pros:

The staff were kind and attentive. The hotel is small and quiet, so it never felt crowded. Breakfast was peaceful, with very attentive and personalized service.

Cons:

The hotel is rated as exceptional, which is quite misleading. The rooms are very small, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about it. It feels more like an Airbnb with reception and breakfast. It is decent and comfortable if you do not plan to spend much time in the room, but realistically, I would rate it around 7/10 at best.

Overall, it was a nice stay and the friendly staff and character of the hotel were positives. However, given the lift in
Pros:

The hotel has a really nice, cute and quirky vibe and everything was clean. The staff we met were friendly, and overall the property had a charming feel. It’s very much a do-it-yourself style hotel, but you get what you pay for.

Cons:

Breakfast was particularly small, with limited choice and a slightly confusing setup. The rooms also had limited soundproofing, so loud doors banging throughout the night could be heard quite clearly. Staff aren’t available 24/7, which can be fine most of the time, but was an issue when I got stuck in the lift for around 30 minutes. It was a very scary experience, apparently due to a power outage, and there wasn’t much immediate assistance or follow-up afterwards.
