Hotel Principe

This hotel is NOT modern, unless that description on their website was written in 1840. The same decade as the multi-coloured, mismatching sofas that adorn the reception area. Just a couple of points to mention: - The lights in the bathroom are on a timer so be prepared to do the YMCA and wave your hands above your head if you don’t want to lather your bits up in the dark. - The air conditioning doesn’t work. - They do not provide irons for use, though they will happily provide an ironing service: unfortunately I had a party to attend that night and couldn't wait the three day turn-around. - The bedrooms are decorated in a post-tasteful style, and my room had a painting of a semi-naked woman which appeared to have what I suspect was an additional contribution to the face from a guest. Wallpaper peeling off. These rooms are truly a sight to behold. - When you order a drink be prepared to walk to reception to pay and then walk back to the bar to collect your drink. Don’t rush as the drink won’t satiate any thirst you develop, the only thing their Prosecco will satiate is a desire to move onto your next life. - In the bathroom you have a choice between a towel or a tea-towel: yes that’s right. Your room comes with two tea-towels. So if you’re in a rush to get on holiday and only half finish your dishes, don’t stress - bring them with you. If you liked the hotel in The Shining, this is the place for you.
