D.H. Lawrence
The DH Lawrence Hotel is amazing. The architectural design and engineering to create such an extraordinary hotel within a centuries old building in such a confined location is incredible. Rooms, staff, service, food, all of the highest standard, I feel privileged to have stayed there

Hotel Italia
Convenient location near most of the tourist activities and Castello district. Rooms were clean and staff were great. Only complaint would be the lack of working facilities. A couple of plugs didn’t work and the AC was very temperamental.
