We enjoyed our 8 day/7night stay. The language barrier was the most difficult part, but once the communication barrier was crossed, the staff was very helpful in every way. We spoke with Martina and Antonio most of the time. They go out of their way to help. There is breakfast available and free with some packages. I was not a fan of the breakfast. The bacon was not crisp. More like English bacon. There was a nice bar. The hotel is old and “majestic” with its marble floors and walls. The rooms are big with a seating area. The bathroom was big enough, although the shower was small and old. Rust was evident and the door didn’t work so well, but the water was hot and the stream was strong. The most important part of any shower. Everything was clean. We had a beautiful view from the 9th floor. The elevators are small, but not as small as some European elevators that we have been in. Everything is elegant. Don’t expect many amenities, but there were nice toiletries and a very large fitness center (more like a ballroom). You can get water there, to refill your water bottle. There is not coffee or tea in your room, but there is a small fridge at your disposable. There is also a hair dryer. It wasn’t mentioned on the web, so I brought one. Be careful when using your own hair tools, you’ll need a power converter, not just an adapter. The hotel is central to everything! Close to a metro line and the funicular. It’s between two ferry ports, both walkable. Short walk to the Chaia. Lots of shopping. Reminded me of the Champs Ellysee or Rodeo drive. We are walkers and most everything is within a mile. NOTE: if you have allergies, there is perfume everywhere. The hotel reeks of perfume. I developed an allergy reaction and was sick a few days. I told them not to spray my room and I did not linger in the common area. We loved the convenience and safe area. Everything we wanted to see was easily accessible. Tours are plentiful.
Very Good
