Breakfast
At Hôtel Ilargi, the breakfast experience is generally well-received, with multiple guests noting the hearty and abundant nature of the meal. Many visitors appreciate the simplicity yet sufficiency of the offerings, highlighting that while the breakfast is basic, it is well-organized, especially when it comes to the selection of sweets. The croissants and the variety of bread available receive positive mentions, and the coffee is recognized as tasty when it accompanies the meal.
Despite these positives, there are mixed opinions about the breakfast's variety and price. Some guests feel the options are too limited, noting an absence of fruits, ham, and cheese, which results in a more minimal spread consisting primarily of bread, croissants, yogurt, and jams. Additionally, the breakfast has been described as lacking diversity and is seen by some as not quite worth the expense. There are occasional remarks about the coffee quality being less than satisfactory, with one guest finding it particularly disappointing.
Overall, while the breakfast at Hôtel Ilargi is appreciated for its abundance and taste, guests seeking a wider variety or more substantial fare may find it less than ideal.
Rooms
Hôtel Ilargi offers travelers a delightful stay with its spacious and comfortable accommodations that cater to various needs. The rooms are consistently praised for their size, often described as large, spacious, and very generous in space, making them ideal for families and those looking for more room to stretch out. Guests appreciate the uniqueness of some rooms, particularly those with unconventional bedding or creative layouts like two-story studios and mezzanine apartments. Cleanliness is a recurrent highlight, with many mentioning both well-kept rooms and well-equipped kitchens, which are particularly beneficial for family stays.
The family suites are notably well-furnished and equipped, ensuring a pleasant experience for larger groups. The apartments, some featuring high ceilings, offer a welcoming and airy environment, making for a comfortable short or long-term stay. The calm ambiance of the hotel is another plus, providing an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
However, while many rooms meet high expectations, there are occasional notes on areas that could be improved, such as small room sizes or lack of ventilation in some cases. The practicality of certain bathroom facilities also draws criticism, particularly when it comes to shower setups.
Overall, Hôtel Ilargi provides a reliable choice for spacious and enjoyable accommodations with beneficial amenities for families, despite a few areas that could benefit from enhancements.
Beds
Nestled in the heart of the city, Hôtel Ilargi offers a mixed bag of experiences when it comes to its beds, highlighted by a range of accommodations within its walls. A prevalent theme is the cozy yet snug atmosphere of the rooms, which, despite their small size, provide a welcoming retreat. Some guests praise the beds for their comfort and enjoy a restful night, citing a super comfortable mattress as a pleasant surprise. However, not all guests share this sentiment; opinions on the bedding quality vary substantially, with remarks about beds being too hard for some and overly soft for others. The hotel's approach to bedding style, featuring low floor-level beds reminiscent of futons, strikes a chord for those seeking a unique sleeping experience, but doesn't satisfy everyone, particularly for those who prefer thickness in their pillows and a bit more elevation. An occasional note on maintenance suggests room for improvement. Though the bedding may not be extraordinary, the cozy ambiance of Hôtel Ilargi retains its appeal for those looking for a city hideaway.
Cleanliness

Some found the premises uninviting due to dim lighting and dark decor. Reports indicated varying levels of cleanliness in guest rooms, corridors, and shared spaces, with some suggesting improvement is necessary. Pets are allowed, which might appeal to some, though it appears to have impacted the general cleanliness. While the cleaning service offers opportunities for enhancement, the hotel remains an option for those less concerned by these aspects, considering its location and overall value.
