Top Palau Hotel Reviews

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 The rooms are very spacious but outdated, clean room and clean bathroom with A/C. We had a nice view from our balcony.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."
