Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is nestled in the heart of the vibrant old town, just a stone's throw away from the bustling square. My stay was a mix of charm and chaos with some notable highlights and a few drawbacks. The rooms were a sanctuary of comfort and style, but the service had its hiccups. The location was a true gem for exploring the local scene, while the dining experience left me craving a touch more variety. Despite some quirks, the facilities were top-notch, making it a delightful stay overall.
