Hotel 717

"We had a wonderful stay and want to especially praise the hotel staff—everyone was kind, helpful, and responded quickly with genuine warmth. The building itself is charming, spotless, and tastefully decorated. Our room was quite small, which is why I’m giving 4 stars in that category. Also, please note there’s no elevator and the stairs are quite steep, so it may not be ideal for elderly guests.\n\nBreakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, and the coffee was truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and the amazing staff made it even better."

"My partner and I had a great time! Lovely rooms, great bath and nice dining room.\nThank you to the man with curly hair and man with man bun (sorry we didn’t get your names). You were all super sweet and very accommodating! We will be back!"

"Hotel 717, among many others, excels in providing exceptional guest service. We had booked this hotel six months ago. After disembarking from the cruise around 9 a.m., we decided to check in and relax at the hotel. We arrived at 9:30 a.m. and were greeted warmly by a friendly front desk agent. He promptly assisted us with our luggage and guided us through the check-in process. He informed us that our room was ready, but our friends’ room would be ready soon. Since we were early, he offered us breakfast, which we enjoyed outdoors. The waiter was friendly and efficient, ensuring that our time was well-spent while waiting for our friends’ room.\n\nTo pass the time, the front desk recommended canal rides with the Kinboat company. We took advantage of this and had a fantastic experience. Upon returning, we sought restaurant recommendations. The agent suggested Mayur Indian cuisine, which we tried. It was delicious, especially the group meal. While it was a bit pricey, it was worth every penny.\n\nAnyhow, the hotel 717 has a lot of characters. You are talking about 400 years old building. When you enter, don't expect 3-5 front desks with their kiosk. Don't expect a huge area where you can play hide and seek. Expect an area where you will be greeted immediately and no long lines such as Marriott or Holiday Inn. The hallway is very narrow. Enough to stretch both arms. We stayed in Room 18. I like the stairs very much. It was a dangerous stair that you always had to pay attention to. Narrow and always stay on the right side if you can. If your drunk all the time and obese guests, don't dream of it. You want to enjoy your vacation in the scenic area not at the hospitals. Our room had a back view. We heard a little bit of noise but tolerable. The beds were always made after breakfast and before bedtime.\nOverall, our stay at Hotel 717 was awesome."
