Fonda Hotel 1771

小鎮上的酒店很不錯

This was a good choice for our stay, most particularly the close proximity to the circuit where we were attending an event. The hotel has character, both outside and in, its beautiful facade of blue with yellow shutters casting it prime player on the high street. Inside, the lowly lit, all day cafe-restaurant is ambient and welcoming. Other communal spaces have also been charmingly styled, with an art deco nod. Rooms are quite different - our sons’ triple room was a decent size but quite basic, with no kettle, whereas our deluxe room, whilst also rather stark, had upscale furnishings and fittings, including an enormous marble bath. And the much desired kettle! The town centre location means many rooms face the street. Ours enjoyed 2 lovely balconied doors, albeit with a view of an underground car park. Not pretty, and a little noisy, but the upside is you have myriad restaurants on your doorstep. The hotel doesn’t have its own parking but offers a discounted ticket for the adjacent underground car park, priced at €20 per 24 hours. The restaurant operates throughout the day, offering breakfast from 7 till 12, with coffee and pastries served in between lunch and dinner. We ate in-house several times and food was a mixed bag, but good overall, and really good on occasion. Staff were pleasant, but we did have a very long wait for food on one particular evening. Overall - a good stay and we would return.
