    Great hotel. Excellent staff and location is fantastic. Strongly endorse this place. If you stay there try the Majestic Cafe just down the street- another fine place.

    Excellent Central Location Catch the Venicular back up from Gaia as it is a steep walk to the hotel.

    I marked the cleanliness average because of the whiff of drains from the en suite, however the room was spotless and staff v attentive. The hotel is 3 mins from the Metro and 1 min from Cafe Majestic which makes everything OK. No tea or coffee facilities

    + The friendliness of the staff and the location was very good, near both railway station and metro. - Too small rooms, no parking, difficult to reach - reconstruction area

    We have over 2 year period this hotel 7 times, staff are helpful nothing too much trouble and friendly, my partner's health is getting worse and we can go away here with less hassle than going away in the uk. hotel is the man shopping area of the city, a short ride on the funiclar (best way to see the main bridge for the first time) to the river. you get very value.
