Lea Luxury Rooms

This is a serious security concern at via Elio Taof 4. A few days ago I noticed that the main entrance door wasn’t latching after people went inside. I told the community, and it was fixed, but I checked again today and found the same problem. Someone may be leaving it open to get WiFi or access other points of interest in a nearby hotel. I’ve seen similar situations before, where a house advertised as an AirBnb used the internet data from an adjacent hotel. To me, this is a serious breach of security.

I really enjoyed staying here. The prices are good, the location is great, and the service is first class. A great hotel, highly recommended.

The location worked really well for us, and there are great restaurant choices nearby. The area gets very lively on Saturday night, though, and that kept us awake. We hadn’t realized this was more like a hostel than a hotel: it’s just five rooms in a converted apartment. The walls are thin, and noise from the small reception area woke us in the morning. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. The building has a small elevator that felt a bit scary, and you have to climb 15 steps from the curb to get to it. Since the street is pedestrian-only, we also had to haul our large bags a block or two over cobblestones.

The window looks onto a street with restaurants, but the insulation keeps the noise out. The room was clean and pleasant, with comfortable beds, a shower, plenty of hot water, good toiletries, and a towel warmer. There’s both a radiator and air conditioning for heating and cooling, plus a small fridge, an electric kettle with coffee and tea, and a little safe. The location is by the Great Synagogue on one side and the main Street of the Jewish Ghetto, with its Kosher Restaurants and Bakeries, on the other. Police are stationed at every street corner because of the Jewish institutions, so it feels as safe as it can. The design is modern and nice, and the place is very clean.
