We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the San Karlu Hotel. The building itself was in a fantastic location, easily accessible to sights and restaurants, and moreover characterful and kept spotlessly clean. Well appointed room and the breakfast was outstanding. Last but not least, all the team of staff were friendly and welcoming - thank you! We hope to return!

10/10 Exceptional

We recently stayed at this property for a week’s vacation and it was an incredibly lovely boutique hotel. The entire hotel and rooms were very clean, the staff was polite and helpful in every way, and the amenities were superb (breakfast included and rooftop pool and seating area a huge plus!). The hotel is a short walk to all attractions and eateries and right around the corner from a beautiful sea view. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
