Poli Urban By Afi Hotels

The street noise was the biggest issue for me. There’s a bar downstairs, and on Thursday it carried on until about one or two in the morning. The windows don’t seem to block much sound, so outside noise gets into the room easily. If noise doesn’t bother you much, it’s an acceptable place to stay, but I wouldn’t choose it again. The room had slippers, a hairdryer, a hair straightener, a safe, and an Illy coffee machine. The AC worked, though it only had low, medium, and high settings, with no automatic temperature control. I didn’t get to try breakfast, and looking at the bill, I think I was charged too much.

The bed was really comfortable, the shower was amazing, and the chocolate was delicious. The price felt very fair for all that. The staff were great and went out of their way to help. It’s just over a block from the beach and about a 10 minute walk to the shuk. I loved this hotel, just book it if you’re considering it!

We had a really good 24-hour getaway. The location near the sea and frequent public transportation suited us well, and breakfast was very good. It worked nicely as a short place to crash and eat.

The beds were comfy, the rooms were clean, and they even had a hair straightener for my wife. The hotel is well placed, just 200 metres from the beachfront. Breakfast was excellent, the best we’ve had at a hotel. Service was great from check-in through checkout, and nothing we asked for was too much trouble, especially for the helpful Jessica. We’ll definitely come back.
