What guests think

At Hotel Traghetto, travellers consistently highlight the unbeatable location steps from the free cruise-port shuttles and the notably friendly, hands-on staff, while also noting that the property is older, basic, and shows visible wear in places.

Rooms vary in size, but many mention very small showers, firm mattresses, dim lighting, and occasional maintenance hiccups or intermittent Wi-Fi. Cleanliness is generally praised, though a few note bathroom mold or dated fittings; breakfast ranges from simple continental to good, with coffee frequently singled out as excellent. A few disliked the immediate surroundings or a busy street crossing, while many appreciated easy walks to restaurants, the waterfront, and the train. Overall, expect a practical, no-frills overnight base tailored to cruise travelers.

This property is very dated, in need of a lot of updating. Showers are so small it was difficult to get in, for our friends travailing with us impossible. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the elevator was being repaired and they carried our luggage up and down the stairs.

The staff was very helpful. We choose the hotel for the amazingly convenient location to the cruise line boarding tents. We were disappointed in the facility however. The mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. The shower was tiny and required a high step to enter. Cracked floor tiles were covered by a small throw rug. Access to the elevator requires going up a flight of stairs from the ground floor, which was hard for my wife with limited mobility.

The location was excellent if you're going to board a cruise ship the next day, the staff were excellent and carried our luggage up 3 floors as the lift was out of order. Our only criticism is that the hotel is old and tired and the shower is way too small for the average sized Anglo-Saxon. That being said, the room was clean and the staff were very helpful.

The area of the hotel from the outside looks horrible, looks like an ugly alley. The inside looks much better, the staff is welcoming and it has a nice breakfast area included. The room was nice and comfortable, the bathroom cleanness could be better but overall it was and ok experience. We stayed only one night so we managed.

We were staying here for one night only as a stopover before our cruise. It's in a very convenient location with the cruise shuttle being just across the road. The staff are excellent, friendly & helpful. Breakfast is continental and basic but ample. Hotel itself is old but clean and comfortable. Restaurants are within walking distance. Be aware at night time of people loitering around near the hotel who will try and stop you when you're passing. They also followed us when we didn't respond but thankfully gave up. It's a quiet enough area too so maybe avoid walking at night on your own. Once you reach the main, busier area it improves. I would recommend this hotel though for it's convenience and lovely staff.

The hotel was adequate effective air conditioner, fan, bathroom was small with some mold around the edges of the shower and showerhead, but adequate and functional. Spacious room with spacious storage. The beds were flat and somewhat uncomfortable. The view from the bathroom and the bedroom were excellent. The staff was friendly And helpful. We could see the cruise ship port and it was very convenient with multiple dining options within walking distance. PS do not go to the pizzeria in the hotel. The Forma restaurant which was within walking distance has been written up in the Michelin travel guide and was an excellent value with delicious food and service.

This is a descent hotel for one night and great if you are taking a cruise the next day. You are literally 2 minutes from the cruise bus terminal. Not the best beds and the toilet kept running. You have to carry a 1 pound key chain with your room key, yes they still use a key. Breakfast was limited, but enough if you’re going on a cruise.

Perfect hotel for a pre-cruise overnight stay. The room was okay as it was a bit dated, but the customer service was exceptional. The young man at the front desk when we checked in was very helpful. Even walked outside with us to show us where the port bus departed. Included breakfast was fine. Wi-Fi was a bit iffy as it depended upon how many people were trying to access it at the same time.

It is not fancy nor a top-of-the-line - yet, it provided excellent service & most important to us was ac, which they are having an extreme heatwave right now. Thank you to Guissepe, who took such good care of us, as he spoke excellent English, where the rest of the staff was limited.
