Bacchus Pension

Quiet location but barely two minutes’ walk to closest bars, shops and restaurants, 8 minutes’ walk to Hadrian’s Gate, 5 mins to the harbour. The accommodation is simply furnished, but comfortable. We had a twin room with balcony with side sea view/ Mountain View. There was hot water in the shower, the room was spacious enough for two, with hanging and drawer space for clothes and plug sockets by the bed. Having a kettle and mini fridge was useful. It rained during our three night stay so we didn’t make a lot of use of the roof terrace (fabulous views) other than breakfast, and none at all of the pool, which was small but looked nice. Breakfast was pre-plated, with different hot plates each day as well as bread, salad, cheese and fruit. The staff were Fri and helpful, opening our bottle of wine for us (bought in local supermarket) and booking an airport transfer.

Very friendly manager, called Ibrahim. Our deluxe room was spacious and overlooked the garden and pool. Bathroom was a good size and very powerful shower. The rooftop view was splendid, this was why I picked the hotel. Breakfast was ok, did the job, reasonably priced for the old town. Helpful lady in the kitchen. Location was very close to everything but was tucked away in a cul de sac and very quiet at night. We only stayed two nights and it was fine for our needs. Didn’t use the pool but it looked nice. The AC was good. I would stay here again if I needed to make a quick stop in the old town. It was very convenient and quiet overall. The staff were friendly and helpful overall.

The surfaces were dusty and floor could have been cleaner. The bed was firm if you like that. I would say it’s a 3 star overall in standard but we only slept there overnight on two nights so just needed a place to sleep.

The terrace view! Friendly and helpful management and housekeeping/breakfast staff and the small but very, very cut and relaxed pool area. The ‘otel is down a quiet part of the old town but literally steps away from it all. Ibrahim (the manager) is great for knowledge of area and trips can be booked from the desk and the support staff are really friendly too.

Toilet might need a bit of renovation.
