Our stay of 4 nights was excellent, room with a private patio amazing place to sit and relax after busy day at beach or at night to enjoy a drink or cigarette. Breakfast and service was very good too. Location steps to the port where you can take the ferry to La Madalena , at night market across the hotel and a variety of restautants.Parking free from 8:00PM to 8:00 AM, we didnt use the parking from hotel. Awesome stay.

Surely it’s not a 4* hotel: - The breakfast is very mediocre, and all plates are the size of cup plates, apparently to prevent guests from having ‘more’ food than they expect them to have - There are no sockets next to bed, only old USB-A ports which nowadays no one is using - The are no water glasses in the room. So we had to purchase the plastic cups from the supermarket nearby - TV didn’t work (didn’t turn on) - No noise cancellation, every time someone is passing by or slams the door or walking in the room upstairs you can hear it loud and clear The hotel is quite clean however, and location is quite close to restaurants and bars in Palau. However it comes at costs of extra noise in case there is some performance nearby (until 12-1am) There is also a separate underground parking, which is useful given that public parking next to the hotel is very busy. It costs 19€ per day though, and if you want to keep a car for another few hours after checkout they would charge you a full extra day

The hotel was clean with friendly staff. Just a couple of things I would point out are no kettle in the room and the air con wasnt very powerful. To counteract my friends kettle situation the hotel gave her free hotwater everyday as she bought her own teabags. The free breakfast was good with plenty of variety

Good location just a little old

Location is excellent but there is a large parking lot between the hotel and the marina so views are not the best. The hotel is very old (it’s in the name) but once you open the doors and windows it freshens up pretty quickly.
