Reviews and Ratings
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.
This hotel offers a unique experience with its charming historical roots and quirkiness, making it a fun place to stay. The rooms are comfortable with lovely views, and the staff is friendly and helpful, providing great local insights. However, the breakfast could use a bit more variety to enhance the morning experience.
The Fransiskus Hotel is a unique place with an interesting history, offering comfortable accommodations and a genuinely warm atmosphere. The rooms are clean and spacious, with views of the harbor that add to the experience. While the breakfast options are decent, some might find them a bit basic. The location is fantastic for exploring the local sights, although some features could be improved for a more polished stay.
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.
The hotel offers a calm and soothing atmosphere with spacious, clean rooms and a great view of the bay. While the breakfast had limited hot options, it was still enjoyable. The connection to a hospital gave it a unique feel, though it might be unsettling for some. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, with free parking available.
