The hotel is right in the middle of the busy tourist area. Everything you would want to visit is within walking distance . Rooms are small but nice. The staff are excellent and could not be more helpful. I had to ship my suitcase back and they were kind and went out of their way to help me with this.

We loved this hotel, the balcony was of a generous size and made for a great place to relax and soak up the atmosphere of the area. The location was great and with the doors closed it was very quiet, but we loved being able to have the doors open. Due to the tiny streets and laneways there was no traffic noise.

I loved my stay at the Mest hotel. The location is perfect - the view is fantastic. The breakfast is really nice (a variety of available options). The staff is super friendly. If there’s something I could criticise, that would be the mattress. Other than that, everything was fine 👌

Love it!!

We had the pleasure of staying in Mest for 5 nights, and I can't express enough how wonderful our experience was! Everything exceeded our expectations, from the delightful breakfasts to the attentive customer service. The convenience of the airport pickup and drop-off made our trip even smoother. We truly feel grateful for such a memorable stay and are already looking forward to returning!

Great location and comfortable modern facilities

Very central location by the Spice bazaar and near Eminou tram stop making it easy to get about. Hotel is modern and did a good breakfast and always had coffee and tea available both in the room and the 5th floor restaurant. Fantastic views from the restaurant. Bed a bit firm, but great shower.
