Hotel Piroscafo

Hotel Piroscafo

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel in a fantastic location, the rooms overlooking the harbour have the best views. The room is compact bit has everything you need storage wise. Lovely complimentary toiletries and good hairdryer. House keeping exceptional. The breakfast is continental with lots of choice and nice coffee. The ladies in the restaurant are so lovely. My only negative feedback and I rarely say negative things about a stay, is the shower size. Very bijou and if you're not a size 12 a bit tight to squeeze into. Spotlessly clean just a squeeze, especially after eating at all the amazing restaurants that the hotel is surrounded by. Highly recommend this hotel & would certainly stay again. Excellent value for money."
