XilHotel

Straight pluses. Good position near to bridge to historic centre which is a nice easy stroll. Big plus, as centre is ZTL, is that there are 5/6 dedicated parking places outside & rest of this quiet street has free parking. Easy walk to station (although so few trains & only 1 destination, probably not much benefit!). Hotel has buzz-in 24hr manned reception. Had sea view room with little balcony with table /chairs (don't be put off by small railway sidings between hotel and water, they are disused and you can see port, marina and across bay with lots of boats). Room was well fitted and had good a/c. Wifi good. Only small minus for us was the bed was on hard side. Good that extras are reasonable ie breakfast (not incl in our special rate) was good for €5 . Solarium with loungers on roof if you want to fry But biggest plus is the staff, all extremely friendly and cheerful and almost everyone with excellent English. They made us feel really valued as a guests. One tip: hotel gives 10% discount cards for some restaurants/bars. You need to Tripadvisor one of these. Can recommend Spingula for lovely setting for sundowners/mixed fish carpaccio.
