Casa Chitic is at Strada Johann Gott 7, in the old town, about two minutes on foot from Council Square. It offers a free buffet-style breakfast, a terrace, free WiFi and air conditioning, and rooms that range from compact economy and twin rooms to a double with a mountain view, a luxury suite and a two-bedroom luxury apartment that sleeps up to six. Luggage storage, a front-desk safe, paid parking and an airport shuttle for a fee are available, and the property is smoke-free.
Location and getting around
The old town is small enough that almost everything is within a few minutes of your door. Council Square is two minutes away, the Black Church three, Rope Street, one of the narrowest streets in Europe, about three, and the Telecabina ski lift about six. The Tampa cable car is roughly ten minutes on foot, which makes an early ride up the mountain easy. Restaurants and a specialty coffee shop are one to three minutes away. The railway station is about eight minutes by car, and the airport about twenty.
The rooms
Choose by group size. The economy room is a compact double for a short stay, the luxury twin has a city view, and the double and luxury suite offer mountain views and much more space, around fifty square metres. The two-bedroom luxury apartment, which sleeps up to six, is the one to look at for families or friends travelling together, and the extra space means you can relax in the evening rather than stay out.
The buffet breakfast is included, which sets the hotel apart from many neighbours where it is an extra, and the terrace is a pleasant place for coffee in good weather.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, families and groups who want space, a good breakfast and a short walk to everything will be happy here. Pets are not allowed. Check-in is in the afternoon until early evening, so tell the hotel if you will arrive later, and check-out is at eleven. Parking is offered for a daily fee, and it is worth booking ahead, since the old town is partly pedestrianised.
Free cancellation is offered on some rates, so check the conditions when you book. Prices are mid-range, with rates that rise in the summer high season and over the winter holidays. The hotel is a handy base for a day on Mount Tampa, a visit to the Black Church and an evening stroll through the lanes of the old town, all of which can be done on foot from the door.
