Staff very good/accommodating. Restaurant upstairs was very nice. We booked a deluxe sea view room which was ok, but minimal seaview. Poor parking accommodations offsite- be prepared. No real unloading zone for luggage.

It was lovely to wake to a sea view after our late flight. Unfortunately there were some youths who wanted to make a fair bit of noise, some on motorbikes, which woke me several times. Breakfast had lots of choice and was tasty. Unfortunately no lunch. Surroundings are in many places old and photogenic, the Venetian wall something special
Entrance to tunnel beneath the wall. Possibly a new art space?

Lovely hotel - Wondeful reception staff

Check in was really good, two staff members were very helpful, cheery and smiled. Rooms are very clean, beds are amazing, lovely shower. Breakfast was excellent and great to be able to take breakfast at 7am before leaving for Port. Staff helpful with travel questions and arranging taxi. Also helped with laundry cleaning and providing the service for cheap €12. Amazing staff member on check out, same as check in, greeted with a smile and very helpful arranging a taxi to Port.
