“Not satisfied”
We found bedbugs and we suspect that either the pillows were too old or the bedsheets were not washed.

All staff members were very helpful and answered all questions needed. We were also able to leave our bags at the hotel after check-out while visiting one of the islands. The location is good, you have everything you need close but the street itself is quiet, so you can sleep without being bothered by too much noise from the outside.

“Convient, friendly hotel”
This hotel has a great location- close to all of the shops and restaurants in Getsemani, yet without the noise, and only a 10 minute walk from the historic center. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

“Good place to stay if you want to stay in busy Getsemani district.”
Very well functioning aircon, very pleasant and helpful lady among the staff working there. Good TV (quality of signal, channels + streaming available). Cheap beer and water available in the fridge on ground floor. Quiet place, feels safe.

The staff were super friendly and really nice. For the price it was really good value and the neighbourhood is super charming! We were worried you could hear noise from the nearby streets as it was Saturday night, but we had a quiet and peaceful sleep, couldn’t hear a thing!

I liked the availability of two swimming pools, one in the courtyard and one on the roof especially since it was quite warm.

“Charming hotel with excellent breakfast and two small pools.”
This hotel is in an excellent location near the bars and restaurants in the area. The single room was small and sufficient. At first I could not get hot water in the shower but was advised that it was because it was solar hot water; I tried again in the morning and it worked. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, coffee, cereal and a choice of different egg dishes.
