Superior room was traditionally furnished, large and comfortable. It had an additional sitting & dining area with bi-folds glass doors that opened on to the balcony. The bathroom was spacious but we couldn’t get the jacuzzi bath to work. Breakfast was room service only (restaurant was closed), more than adequate in amount and quality for us, and provided for free. All staff were polite and efficient. The entrance doesn’t have a wow factor, it’s little more than a reception desk but we weren’t too concerned about that given that the hotel 2 properties away was almost 3 times the price :-) Location was excellent for us, between the buzzy part of town and transport links.

We loved our stay at Hotel L’Ancora for our honeymoon! The location is perfect as it is near many good resturants and shops. It is also just a 10 min walk to the beach! Our room was ready early, which was great because we were both sweaty after carrying our bags up (they offer a service to transport bags for £15/bag which we invested in when we left lol). Personally, I felt the bag service should be included with the room with how much we spent on our stay. The breakfast that was included was so yummy and the views were unbeatable! The staff was also very kind and helpful.

This hotel was amazing and the staff were so lovely and attentive. The only thing that could be improved is that the bed was really firm (no mattress topper) but other than that the room was perfect. The location is where you want to be, right in the middle with everything you need around it. Would definitely recommend!
