Delicious Breakfast

Breakfast was truly a highlight of my stay! I enjoyed choosing from three different options, including an Arabic breakfast and a freshly made vegetarian omelette. Each meal was served on the lovely terrace where I could soak in the morning sun. Every bite was good and set a positive tone for the day ahead!

Comfortable Twin Room

I stayed in a twin room with a shared bathroom, and it was very comfortable and modern. The bed felt great after a long day of exploring. The room was also clean, which made my stay even better. I loved having a balcony with a view of the Roman theater, adding to the ambiance of my experience!

Modern Bathroom

The bathroom facilities were impressive! I appreciated that it was well-maintained and modern with plenty of hot water. It was a shared bathroom, but it felt private and was always kept clean, which was a big plus during my stay!

Great Walking Tours

I participated in a walking tour organized by the hotel, and it was one of the best experiences of my trip. The guide had extensive knowledge about local history and took us to lesser-known spots. Plus, we sampled delicious street food along the way, making for a fun and informative outing!

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the location across from the Roman theater was fantastic and the staff were very accommodating, the quality of the accommodations left much to be desired. The lack of basic facilities like a properly functioning shower and reliable electricity made the experience less enjoyable. I would not recommend this place unless you're prepared for some discomfort.

Rooms

The room itself was small and had no windows, which made it feel a bit cramped. The shared bathroom was clean, but the overall setup was not ideal for privacy.

I had a solid experience at this boutique hotel, which is wonderfully placed right across from the Roman Theatre. The room I stayed in was comfortable but on the smaller side. The staff was extremely accommodating and eager to help with any requests. On the downside, the noise from the bustling street and the number of stairs to reach the hotel was a bit of a hassle, especially with luggage. Overall, it offers good value for a short stay right in the heart of the action.

This hotel has a prime location right across from the Roman theater, but it falls short in many other areas. The rooms are poorly designed and not very comfortable, with issues like lack of hot water and noise. Service was a real letdown, with staff who seemed more interested in upselling than in helping us. While the breakfast was decent, the facilities and overall experience left much to be desired.

The hotel has an excellent location right across from the Roman Theater, making exploring the area easy. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially during breakfast. However, the rooms are quite basic, and the glass cube bathroom setup is unusual and not very private. While the breakfast is delightful, there were issues with the booking process, which left us frustrated.

I had a rather disappointing experience at this so-called boutique hotel. While the location is unbeatable, just across from the Roman theater, the rooms were subpar and the service left much to be desired. The breakfast was decent, but the cramped dining space made it inconvenient. Overall, it felt like a money grab rather than a comforting stay.

The room was cramped and felt like a jail cell with two separate beds instead of the double I booked. It was particularly cold and uncomfortable due to a lack of heating, and the bathroom situation was less than ideal.

Service
