Hotel Novecento

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : Although located in the centre of town, equal distance from train station as ferries, it was very peaceful and quietly situated thanks to a cosy inner courtyard.
  : Nohing not to like. Except maybe shower, that was smallish

  : nice design and good management, good breakfast and comfortable bed, silent air con is working well
  : lack of sound proofing so could hear the toilet flush in the adjacent room and people coming and going late at night and early morning

  : There were two members of staff, Anna the managers assistant and Anne Marie the maid, who were really lovely. The bathroom was adequate, with decent products.
  : The host/boss who I believe was called Guilermo called me a few times leading up to the stay to try and pin me down to an exact time for arrival which is tricky. When I tried to state 2.30-3.30 he made it 3, so that when we arrived 10 minutes before that he was not there. He arrived eventually and was the only host we have had out of 4 in our trip, to ask for the money upfront, and even when we replied credit card to his question of what form of payment, he still said he preferred cash. We duly paid but wished we had seen the room first. I had booked the garden room and this came out at almost 200 euro per night. For that I do not expect to be led to what looks like a rusty lock up, then past the "garden" and to a "Flat" which although spacious was like a shanty town apartment. the furniture looked like it was cobbled together at home and things were rusty and makeshift looking. Don't take my word for it, photos are attached. You can see the headboard of bed and sofa are wood with cloth thrown over. There were scrawls on the walls for decoration, which added to the general "prison" like feel. And finally, the electrics are wired so that you have to switch the lights and electrics off from outside the bedroom, also one switch turn everything on and off, so that you cannot watch TV in bed and have a lamp on, you have to watch in bright light and then get up to switch all off outside. When we tried to discuss with Guilermo he did his usual thing of pretending not to understand English. I wish we hadn't paid before seeing it, it was the worst stay we had with the worst host, and all our other stays and hosts were so perfect - even though this was the most expensive place.

  : Location was very central to main shopping district and restaurants, so excellent to be in the central hub. Short walk down the hill from the main train station. Generally very quiet as little alleyway entrance to hotel that is hidden away from main street noise. Had all the essentials for a very enjoyable short stay and staff were fantastic.

  : Brilliant location, right off the main shopping drag but actually really quiet at night. The beds were comfortable, the pillows superb and the AC worked well. Breakfast was varied and sized just right for a busy day of sightseeing. The staff were great - really friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Anna in particular was a great ambassador for the hotel and a real asset!
  : The room furnishing was slightly basic - I like a comfy chair to sit in while reading, but there were none in the property, not even outside in the lovely courtyard. The chair in the room was really only suitable for sitting in while putting on your shoes!
