Wonderful hotel in a great location

The room was a little small, but that wasn't a huge factor as we were pretty much only in the room to sleep, but having an elevator was a must for us as we're getting too old to be carrying luggage up stairs. The hotel is not quite in as touristy of a location as some of the others, which is something we wanted, and the restaurant next door, Fucco Matto, turned out to be our favorite for the entire trip, and was the only place we actually went back to a second time. Getting a taxi or learning the bus system can be challenging, and the staff was very helpful with that as well. All in all, Hotel St. James was a wonderful place to stay and I would absolutely recommend it and stay there again.

Nice stay

The building is old, and the elevator is also old and small. Both outside and inside look old, but the rooms are very clean and new. The shower works well, and the air conditioner is good. The place is in a quiet area with a park in front. It is a little far from the train station, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the tourist area. But it is a nice place if you want a quiet night.

Our stay at the hotel was very nice. We had a quadruple room and it was large and comfortable. The hotel is close to the train station which is nice if you are traveling by train. The hotel is located a few blocks away from the extremely touristic areas of town, which was nice. However, there are several restaurants and shops close by. I would definitely stay there again
