Anesea City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this brand-new boutique hotel. The location was perfect for us, conveniently close to both the airport and the port, with plenty of excellent restaurants and bakeries within walking distance. The room was exceptional—beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Thoughtful touches like coffee in the room, plush robes, and luxurious towels made the stay feel extra special. The owner was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay easy and enjoyable. He arranged a taxi for us early the next morning, and even though we were leaving before breakfast officially started, he made sure we had something to eat before we left. A beautiful new hotel with wonderful hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!"

El Greco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is incredible. Hotel staff are super friendly. And the place is cheap as chips. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough!!!! 10/10."
