Very good

Good place in good location

Great location, very interesting building, and good rooms, definetely good place to stay if you want to be in old town, and in proximity of Tourist port to Islands, or even Getsemani is like 25min walking distance.

Only thing which I did not like, is that when checking out ''Tips for hotel staff'' 6% were included in the bill, I don't agree with such pratice, they advised us that if you don't want to tip, they can remove it from the bill, but in my opionion it should be vice versa, as they put guest in uncomfortable position. Tips should be voluntary, I don't mind tipping, but I hate when Im forced to, its enough that restaurants in the are do that, didn't expect it from a hotel, that's the only reason why Im not rating 10.

Good

Excellent location but that is about it.

Its in a great location with the historic city walls. Decent value for money. Staff were lovely and helpful. Spoke great English which we were grateful for

Its a bit tired and unloved. They have a pool but I wouldnt have gone in it, needs a really good clean - which a shame. Rooms are clean but basic.

Disappointing

Old hotel that needs lots of maintenance with mainly unfriendly staff

Only positives are price and location.

This is an old broken down hotel. All the furniture is old, creaky and mostly broken. Nothing really worked. The phone in our room was broken so for every issue or request we had to walk down and up three flights of stairs. It was mainly to ask them to reset the router because the Internet barely ever worked. WiFi is key for many things but especially because data quality and reception is dodgy generally. There were some friendly staff but most were cold and unfriendly. The breakfast staff was quite friendly with each other though. They spent all the time socializing and if you needed something it was like you were interrupting or imposing. There was one skinny female housekeeping staffer who was always friendly and actually smiled. Something tells me most of the staff hates their jobs. The breakfast itself was less than mediocre and extremely limited. Mashed dry croissants? The only good part of the breakfast was the fruit. Otherwise super basic, limited selection and not good. Another annoying issue was having to ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the door to the main entrance. And this was at all hours of the day and night. This is because they dont really have a 24 hour front desk as advertised and thats apparently why the front door is always locked. The front desk is often unstaffed as the person has various other duties. So many issues in the room, from lack of curtains that block out light, to poor lighting, to doors that had to be slammed to close properly, faucet fixtures that were difficult to use because half of it was under the mirror, closet doors that didnt close, a balcony door that would close and lock you outside and then there is the balcony that Im not sure how they made it look usable in the photos. Youre lucky if one person can stand outside. The towels were mostly glorified rags. And the room cleaning was below average. We gave up on walking barefoot in our room because the floor was always grimy.

Superb

Nice location!

Its this beautiful colonial house in the middle of the walled city, location is amazing close to all the cute shops and restaurants. Breakfast was so delicious. We had a great time here!

It is a bit noisy at night due to the location, you do not hear parties or people but are able to hear some honking of the cars outside. We did have a good night sleep though.

Location was stunning, room though close to reception was not noisy and was really big. Breakfast was amazing and people serving it were super nice

Something that I found extremely bizarre was I was asked whether I wanted to leave a 10% tip for my stay. Since I had to leave my luggage I fell (which I was not!) forced to leave the tip. Honestly when I am staying in a hotel I am expecting everything be perfect and no tip being asked for it
