We stayed at Civitas for 9 days and it was a wonderful experience . The location in Old Town Was the Best! We can’t say enough about the Staff, they were all so welcoming and helpful we really felt at home here . Our breakfast was amazing lovely area to enjoy the morning as well beautiful view of the harbour . If you don’t like stairs than I would recommend one of the apartments that are all on one level . Very beautiful and spacious . We will recommend this unique hotel to any friends we know that are coming to Beautiful Rhythmno ❤️😊

Juste convenable. La chambre doit être en permanence éclairée car très sombre. Elle est spacieuse avec une belle boiserie. Les serviettes de toilettes étaient elimees et les joints de la baignoire sont noirs de moisissures et doivent être changés. On a même trouvé des restes d'ongles coupés ds les toilettes derrière la porte.

L'hôtel est dans un magnifique bâtiment historique en plein centre-ville, face à la mer, décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Toutefois le petit-déjeuner est servi tard, à partir de 8h30, c'est gênant quand on prévoit des visites guidées dans la journée. Par ailleurs, la taxe de séjour de 10€ par chambre et par nuit, c'était une mauvaise surprise. Le site Hotels.com ne m'avez pas prévenu de ces frais supplémentaires.

It was a great spread for breakfast which was included with our reservation: coffee, orange juice, toast with butter, jam and hazelnut spread, omelette with your choice of toppings and a bowl of fresh fruit. The hostess was very helpful in explaining where we could park our car for free nearby. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for a one night stay.

Fantastic Hotel & brilliant location

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like VIPs. A warm welcome and shown to a stunning suite, with a balcony with a sea view The bed was so comfy & the towels were soft & fluffy. The rooms were sparkling clean It is located very close to everything. The Fortress, Lighthouse, Beach, harbour and old town are moments away , on foot The breakfast was delicious with so much choice. You eat it on the terrace on front of the hotel, overlooking the sea. A wonderful stay in a beautiful resort. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. Fabulous service & staff.

O hotel se encontra bem no meio do comércio e isso é um ponto super positivo, porém, se trata de uma edificação antiga e sem elevador. Para quem tem malas mais pesadas, é complicado. Não tem estacionamento próprio e nem perto. O café da manhã é um pouco confuso, pois é servido no restaurante em frente ao hotel e antes de sentar, vc precisa parar na recepção e escolher o que quer comer e beber. Pra quem quer lugar agitado, é uma ótima pedida Os quartos são excelentes...
