Hotel Piccada

Hotel Piccada

10/10 Excellent
"It is an old hotel with 57 rooms., very italian, Is well kept but with lots of stairs so be prepared, has an elevator, but some rooms like mine you have to use some stairs as well. It is located up on the hill with views of the port. The rooms are very spacious but outdated, clean room and clean bathroom with A/C. We had a nice view from our balcony. The breakfast was excellent, with different meats and cheeses, breads including croissants, pastries, fruits and yogurts, etc. Our parking was included which is rare. Staff was friendly and courteous. Walking distance to the port and all the restaurants."

"This is a beautiful property near Palau. Just minutes from everything. It has 3 bedrooms and a kitchen area. A couch in the main room with the kitchen serves as a small living area. The outside area is gorgeous with comfy chairs and a view of the water. The bathrooms are new and modern. Gigi didn’t speak any English so there was some confusion at first but a Translate app helped the situation. The kitchen is stocked with cooking pots and pans and dishes but the place will need you to bring or buy the rest like dishwashing liquid, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There is a grocery store 5 minutes away. It was a perfect location and a comfortable rental for a great vacation!"
