Breakfast was included and the croissants were fresh and delicious. A wide variety of fruit was also provided. Simone was helpful getting our very heavy suitcase up the stairs. Very close to cruise shuttle.
Difficult getting keys, difficult finding parking, have to wait 2 hours for keys on top of a bank

Hi, I'm Simone from the Stendhal guest house residence, I'm shocked by your statements. She told me the arrival time at 6pm and showed up at 4pm, without warning without sending a message, after I had given her all the information about my guest house, I also gave her the wifi password to let her connect in case of problems, she didn't communicate anything... incredible. Not to mention you came in screaming even though you told her several times that there were other people, but she didn't care. Furthermore, we also drank some beers in the fridge which were not hers, and which I had to reimburse, without asking whose they were, in Italy this is called ignorance, I have no words. for parking, perhaps you haven't read the policy on Expedia, I don't have private parking, I'm a guest house, not a hotel, parking is on the street and based on your arrival time you have to look for one, you should have read better, but you know, paying a little is tempting for everyone, and then they demand the services of a 4-star hotel... next time read the information better and you'll see that you'll have a great time... maybe in a 4-star hotel. Simon.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The good:Excellent location for catching the cruise. Restaurants and stores within easy walking distance. Room was clean. Staff was pleasant. Ok value for the money spent.
The bad: Diffucult to find. It is on a side street in a building with a small wooden door with a small sign. It is on the 3rd floor and the stairs going up are really dark at night. The blanket was thin and old and our room was freezing. (It heated up throughout the night and finally got comfortable).
Extremely comfortable stay. Fantastic mattress, best pillows ( advertised by that Mike guy on TV that I am now going to order when I get home) amazing local pastries, spacious room, easy walk to port.
This hotel was beautiful in a great location near the port. The staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was nice. The pictures online do not do this place justice. The room was incredibly spacious. We loved it.
Great service, very good communication and very clean.

Hi, thank you for your review and for being our guests, I am left speechless, you arrived before check in, I gave you the keys, I told you to come back at 2pm, in the meantime you wandered for more than half an hour between the room and the reception opening luggage looking for things etc etc, for breakfast you didn't accept help, you said no to everything, I gave you all the news you wanted, maybe it was better that you went to a 4 star hotel so you could have everyone the comforts you asked for, with much higher prices, we are a guest house not a hotel, I repeat I was speechless. Good day.
it was in a perfect location for us! He was so nice and helpful. Our plane got in sooner than expected so was able to get us in sooner. Would definitely recommend this property.
Simon was very accommodating, he met us at our set time of arrival. He helped with carrying our suitcases up the stairs. The room is quiet, clean and the bed has a very comfortable mattress.
Property well located for restaurants, banking, shopping and walking around. Owner met us on premises both days and assisted with phone calls and arranging transportation. Only negative was having to carry bags up 2 sets of stairs. Ok for us but for some may be concerning. Breakfast provided limited to only prepackaged sweets and some fresh fruit. Owner quite friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
Simon the owner was great. Other patrons partied until 2 am disturbing my sleep. Breakfast was a joke but there is no kitchen so nothing hot or cooked. A vey good value, good location for cruising.
The property manager let me know within about 24-hours that he would not accommodate me because I was arriving later. Then he would not refund my my payment because it was within 24-hours. I got charged even though I did not stay there.
Simon was an excellent host. Location is great (we walked in from the train station). Plenty of shopping and dining option in the immediate area. Also super close to the cruise dock.
We had a difficult time finding the property. This was in part due to poor directions given to us by local citizens who were trying to be helpful. The breakfast was a joke. It was all self-serve and pre-wrapped, generic mass produced pastries of some sort and a self serve expresso maker that worked only half the time.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good time in our guest house.
After the reservation is made, all our guests are provided with the address of our Guest House, usually to all my customers who have whatsapp I send our location so they can't go wrong.
For breakfast, which for us is not a joke, in this period of uncertainty due to Covid, we prefer to provide our guests with single-dose packaged products, for greater health safety.
We also have, always single-serve, yoghurt from various brands including Muller and Brunico, which are very good and renowned in Italy.
The coffee machine does not miss a beat, but it must be considered that it is an Italian espresso machine, not an American long coffee, unfortunately if you want to make that type of drink, our coffee machine was not concipient for that.
I hope to have you back as guests
Simone from the Residence Stendhal Guest House.
The Inn Keeper was helpful. The Guest House is on the second floor of a historic building that is well maintained and secure. We walked to the inn from the train station and from there to the cruise shuttle bus station. It was very convenient. Good restaurants within a couple of blocks as well. A very enjoyable stay.
