We booked this hotel based on location which is excellent as it is located in the main hub of Valentte and easily accessible to the waterfront, restaurants, shopping and public transport. The hotel looks snug initially but rooms and bathroom are spacious and well maintained in maintained. There is a pool in the terrace where they serve light meals and drinks. Water is topped up everyday and room is tidied up. We enjoyed our stay very much and will stay here again without hesitation Definitely recommend staying here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the San Karlu Hotel. The building itself was in a fantastic location, easily accessible to sights and restaurants, and moreover characterful and kept spotlessly clean. Well appointed room and the breakfast was outstanding. Last but not least, all the team of staff were friendly and welcoming - thank you! We hope to return!
