My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel had a relaxing and calm atmosphere, but the rooms were not as expected – smaller, lacking a sofa, and with a bathroom without a window. The location offered a great view as requested, but being located right below the kitchen in that poorly insulated building was a downside.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was perfect, with a great view facing the piazza, large enough for 2 adults and 2 young kids, modern bathroom, and a handy coffee maker for aperitivo hour breaks. The service was fantastic, the location central but a bit challenging to navigate. The dining was average at best. Overall, a great experience with a few areas for improvement.

The atmosphere created in the rooms was relaxing and calm, but I felt it didn't quite meet the expectations of a 4-star hotel for the price paid.

The hotel had some ups and downs during my stay. The room had interesting books for guests but I encountered issues with old windows that wouldn't shut properly and a loud humming sound, though it wasn't really an ongoing problem. On the bright side, they served one of the best breakfast buffets I have ever seen.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were extremely basic but spacious, furnished with the least possible expense, yet had a great view as requested. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was a lack of charm at times. The location, while exceptional and in the center of the port, was not ideal due to its proximity to a red light area. The dining was good with a variety of choices, although staff behavior was a bit off. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option with some drawbacks to consider.
