First Hotel Reisen Review

In the 18th century, this hotel facing the water was the most famous coffeehouse in the Old Town, lying just a few alleys from the Royal Palace. Sea captains, sailors, and tradesmen frequented the place. In 1819, the Merchant Society took it over and turned it into nautical-style lodgings. Today it's a comfortable and stylish hotel, decked out with dark wood, brick walls, and beautiful fabrics, although it doesn't quite match the charm and atmosphere generated by its two competitors nearby, the Lady Hamilton and Victory . The three-building structure attractively combines the old and the new; rooms are furnished with a mix of modern and traditional designs. Beds are frequently renewed, and the bathrooms are excellent, with deep tubs, massaging showerheads, scales, marble floors, heated towel racks, and phones. Some suites have Jacuzzis, and top-floor accommodations open onto small balconies.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor pool; sauna; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
