Pros: Location was great. It got loud at night with the party buses and events, but we didn't mind. Overall clean and good AC/fan in the rooms.
Cons: Hotel is outdated. Great for if you're just looking for a place to sleep. Construction next door. Breakfast was mediocre. Pool did not look swimmable which was a huge disappointment. It had an odd colour dust (presumably from all the construction).
**Side note: I was travelling with my husband and 1year old baby.
heavy construction around the area which is out of control of the property. but it is located right on the town center where there is major traffic including the party buses. so it is quite loud.
Nice hotel in the heart of the city within walking distance of pretty much everything. Only complaint would be the construction going on outside, but aside from that everything was great !
I don't fault the hotel for construction going on right outside the hotel, it needs to be done. What really set me off was when I tried to check in, after confirming TWICE before arriving, being told everything is OK, they tried to give me a room that was NOT what I reserved. They had the nerve to tell me, "well, that's what happens when you don't book directly with us." Not a good way to start my trip. After having to raise my voice and express my disgust with everyone watching, they gave me a room that was only a little better than what I was getting when I first arrived. It was NOT the room I booked and confirmed. The hotel smelled badly everywhere outside the room. Really treated poorly. I won't be back again.
The hotel is nicely located and the STAFF is amazing.

This hotel is perfectly located, the staff is friendly and helpful. However there is a huge construction project happening all around the property. As well the pool was not open for the duration of our stay and we were not notified beforehand. I would call ahead to check if that was a selling point for your visit and make sure it will be available or if you can get a room where there is not a full blown construction site outside your window.
Once the construction is completed this hotel will be the ultimate gem.
This place was ok. It was close to everything, just wasn’t my cup of tea. The building could use some maintenance. My room was very small and the bed was uncomfortable.
Such a great hotel for the price! It’s not fancy and could use renovation. However, my room was clean, all of the staff were friendly, the complimentary breakfast was good, and the location is great.
My wife and I spent three days there and we loved it. It’s very romantic and makes you feel nostalgic. We really liked that it was across from the walled city so you had access to great shopping and restaurants. It’s also close in front of the clock tower which is where the island tour guides pick you up. Also close to the bay in case you wanted to take a yacht. The building is old so some of the exterior aesthetics need to be updated. However, inside is well taken care of. The only issue was that we were placed on the fourth floor and the elevator only goes up three floors. Not a deal breaker for us.
