Property was in a great spot, within walking distance for many places!!! They arranged our transportation when requested. Very comfy beds, fantastic shower!!! Only issue was jack hammering all day across the street, so very noisy at this time so may want to ask if it was completed before you book.

This place is great! There is a club right underneath, so you can hear that late into the night, but it didn’t bother us at all. The room was nicely updated, beautiful room. All of the staff is amazing and kind, and the shuttle driver was so nice, as well.

Convenient for Old Town, shopping, eating out, beach. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Lovely breakfast (in another small hotel less than 5 mins walk away). We had rooms facing the residential street with small balcony (very nice) and there was also a shared terrace overlooking the Venetian Port, that we made good use of. Thank you Elia staff x
