Talisman Hotel

Rooms

Wherever you go in this hotel, warm colours meet you in abundance, and spotless rooms are no exception to that rule: expect reds and yellows, blues and greens, lilacs and pinks. We didn’t see every room, but although all are different, the same theme runs throughout. You get oriental rugs on parquet flooring, padded headboards shaped to mimic minarets, high ceilings, beautiful fabrics, great art, the odd chandelier. Some rooms are smaller than others, but none of those we saw were particularly small, though it is likely that one or two are. Having said as much, even single rooms get a small double bed, so perhaps we’re wrong. Eight rooms have balconies, all are air conditioned.

There are two suites, both extremely affordable. They have separate sitting rooms and a bath as well as a shower. Other rooms have showers only, but all come with robes and there are minibars, TVs and safes in wardrobes in every room. You’ll also find several charming sitting areas in the corridors that lead to the rooms, so if you don’t have a suite, it doesn’t mean there isn’t somewhere pretty to sit close by.
