Guesthouse Imperator

Excellent quality, very central. Recommended.

Our experience at Imperator was excellent in all respects. Marina was great at meeting our taxi and taking us to the room, and Thomas was also great in helping with our luggage to the next hotel. Position was unbeatable, central in the Old Town, and convenient to numerous bars and restaurants (& gelato bars). We were warned about restaurant noise from the nearby dining but never found it a problem. Overall we can highly recommend Guesthouse Imperator.

This is right in the heart of town, minutes from everything. That has its plusses and minuses. It is great for convenience, but it tended to be noisy at night. The streets are all very narrow, so I was awakened several times by people walking down the street in the middle of the night yelling to their friends. That is probably true of any place in the center of town, though. Also, part of that was my fault, because I failed to notice there was an A/C unit, so I kept the windows opened. (Turned out it wasn't working anyway, but if I had noticed in time, my host probably would have rectified that.) My other concern was that it was very hard to find. That was aggravated by the fact that there was a large concert taking place in the main plaza very near the location. GPS led me in circles around the town, trying to navigate with heavy luggage and large crowds. I finally contacted the owner, Marina, who was very kind and asked me to take a picture of my location. She came out to find me and guide me the final block or two. She was also very helpful with other questions that I had. The room was well equipped and the bed very comfortable, and I loved the rustic look of the original stone walls. Once I had gotten there, I loved that I could step out of my room, walk a block or two and watch a free concert or get a bite to eat. So, with those caveats about possible noise, I would recommend Guesthouse Imperator and its host, Marina.
