Porto Sa Ruxi Holidays from £429

The hotel is located in a convenient spot with most things in walkable distance or a quick bus ride away. They're redoing the street in front of the hotel--nothing to do with the hotel, but if you have mobility issues, it might be a problem as taxi can't come near the door. The inside itself is unique with all sorts of bric brac scattered about. The rooms were spacious and had everything you need. Worth noting that unless you have a harbour view, your windows will open into a pretty depressing indoor courtyard, with little light--it's a historic building, this isn't unusual but worth noting. The only real issue is the issue with the keys-- the doors have the original locks on them. Which is fine, except by their own admission the one for Room 4 is problematic. It was a pain to open and close and frankly the whole door didn't seem very secure anyways. You had to leave your keys at the front desk when you went out which would be fine if they a) told you that when you checked in so you didn't get a lecture later, and made sure there was always someone at the front desk or the door was unlocked. Unfortunately a number of times I was forced to wait around for someone to come back when I was heading out, so I could leave my key. If they could get this ridiculous key situation sorted I'd happily give them a 5/5, but over 3 days it became increasingly annoying.

Great staff helpful to a fault in sorting out a self inflicted problem.

The best thing about this little place is the very charming and welcoming hosts – very funny and thoughtful people. They eschew predictable corporate dryness in favour of natural warmth and honesty.

Brilliant new hotel. Friendly & helpful staff. Spotlessly clean.

Good location, stylish but impractical. Clothes storage minimal, the safe too small for anything larger than a phone, some maintenance of furniture/fittings needed. Very kind and pleasant staff though.

As nice as this place could be,… It’s really not a 4 Star Resort! It’s run down, dirty, not kept up in cleaning nor landscaping. The location is amazing though!!! Sadly the breakfast was very basic and so were the rooms. You pay so much money for a very basic Resort (paying extra for towels and transportation etc)
