We stayed at a studio in a building nearby, not where the hotel rooms are. The studio is roomy, well equipped, with a refrigerator and electric kettle, but unfortunately, there is no microwave oven. The nearest supermarket a 10-minute walk away.

Staff hardly spoke English. Room was spacious and clean. The bathroom needed some upgrade. The shower had molds. The curtain had mold. The mirrors were very old to the point of faded away. No breakfast. No lobby. Check in area is like someone’s living room. Many pictures on hotels.com are misleading. But the location was good. Walkable to catacomb, coniche the citadel, st mark’s and Roman theater.
