Pensión Aia

If there were an Olympic gold medal for cleanliness, it would be awarded to Pension Aia. In addition to being spotless, it is an inviting, well-designed space with a welcoming common kitchen. The kitchen has a toaster, a microwave, a fridge, plates, bowls, silverware --- everything a traveler needs. The hosts are lovely and helpful. The location is convenient: it's in Gros, right across the bridge from the old town. Details to be aware of: some rooms don't have a window (the cozy design of the room more than makes up for it, though), and most of the double beds are a couple of inches narrower than the U.S. queen size mattress --- very comfortable, fits two people, but just a tad smaller than you might be used to. And if you have booked a room with a shared bathroom and you're not sure what that means, do not fret: there is a shower in each room. The toilets are indeed shared, but there are plenty of them (4 or 5), each one looks like a private bathroom with a door, they are spotlessly clean, they are in the hall, and you don't hear them. A really comfortable experience overall.

Such a gem! The people who run it are so kind. They gave wonderful local recommendations. The place is spotless and in a terrific location. Wonderful stay!

Cosy simple guesthouse, great value find! The host greeted us upon arrival and was so nice and attentive. He gave us many tips on what to do and see in the city. We were happily surprised of how lovely our bedroom was as this is a guesthouse and not a hotel. The bathroom was in quite poor condition, very worn but it was clean so nothing to complain about that. There is a joint kitchen space that made it possible to make coffee/tea and store food. Very welcoming with so many free little bits like tea bags etc. The location of the guesthouse is great, wouldn’t change a thing as it feels like you live amongst the locals and not a tourist hot spot. Very close to beach and restaurants. Would recommend!

Staff were super helpful and knowledgeable!
