Unique Chapel Experience

Having a chapel integrated into the hotel was a fascinating experience. Attending a mass added a spiritual touch to my stay and was a nice respite from the busy sightseeing schedule. It’s rare to find such a unique facility in a hotel.

I had a unique experience staying at a hotel with a rich history as a former hospital. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable setting. Although the breakfast was decent, I felt it could have offered more variety. The quirky elevator was interesting but took a bit of getting used to, and I found the steep hill location to be a minor inconvenience while exploring the area.

The Fransiskus Hotel offers a cozy environment with a unique history as a former monastery. Our room was clean and well-appointed, even though it felt a bit small. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the harbor and dining options, but the uphill walk back can be a challenge. Although the elevator experience was quirky, the breakfast left something to be desired with limited options.
