This hotel is gorgeous with fun bars and in a great area. I docked points because our electricity kept going out every time I would use their hairdryer or steamer and then we would need to call the front desk for assistance. Happened 3x times. Would still recommend.

The only thing is that the hotel needs a little clean up. I know they are going for the old look but it is dusty in the lobby area. The rugs in the rooms also need to clean.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Ulysses, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, the employees were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel right at home. The rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable, though I did find myself wishing they were a bit larger for added space. One area I think could use some improvement is the food menu; having more options would definitely enhance the dining experience. However, these minor points didn’t overshadow my overall satisfaction. I highly recommend Hotel Ulysses to anyone looking for a pleasant stay with excellent service!
