Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its very nice rooms featuring a big, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. However, it can get a bit hot in summer. The service was top-notch, with the staff being accommodating and friendly. The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot. The dining options were varied and good, though some dishes needed a bit of seasoning. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
The hotel may not have the largest rooms, but they were just what we needed - a huge comfortable bed with awesome pillows. The service was a mix of rubbish noise from a recycling van but balanced out by helpful and friendly staff. The location was superb for accessing central attractions and public transport, although the dining experience could use a bit more variety. Overall, a cozy stay with minor inconveniences.
The hotel offers lovely decor in spacious rooms with large bathrooms. The view of the office building opposite adds charm to the quiet and clean ambiance. While service was kind and accommodating, there were instances of feeling ignored, especially while managing luggage. The location is superb, close to transportation hubs and key attractions, though some inconsistency in service quality was noted. The dining experience featured a superb selection of cold cuts and cheeses, but lacked a variety of hot options. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor service hiccups.
The hotel had spacious and clean rooms, with a large bathroom, but the lack of soundproofing made it a bit noisy at times.

The location was unbeatable, centrally positioned between tourist hotspots and local attractions. The dining options were decent, offering a good selection of food in a cozy setting. The facilities were well-kept and convenient for guests.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of the fascinating old town, making it a perfect location to explore. The rooms were tidy and boasted a very comfortable bed. While it was clean and cozy, the lack of a lift and numerous stairs to access the rooms could be a drawback.
