It is a steep hill, but three-wheelers get you there easily. It's also a short drive to the train station.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Mount Palace offers guests a comfortable stay with spacious and clean rooms, where they can also enjoy amazing views, sometimes savored during breakfast on the terrace. Its location, although up some steep hills, provides stunning scenery and is within a reasonable distance from the city center; a short tuk-tuk ride arranged by the hotel can take you there for less than 1 euro. The hotel also features an in-house restaurant with good options, though some guests have noted that the bedspread and pillow covers appeared a bit old. Exploring the paths around the hotel, situated on a mountain, is a common experience.
