Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being quite small, were clean and the bed was comfortable, plus the suite with a Jacuzzi was a nice touch. However, the service was lacking as the staff seemed more interested in their phones than assisting guests. On the upside, the location is perfect for exploring the historic center, and the onsite cafe offers delicious meals. Overall, it was a decent stay with some notable drawbacks.
The hotel was described as a suite with a Jacuzzi, offering spacious and clean rooms. The service was friendly and helpful, but not very efficient during check-in. The location is perfect for relaxation and enjoying the terrace. The dining experience was excellent, especially for those looking for a late start at 8 am. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were nicely equipped and lovely, but a bit small if you have a lot of luggage. The service was top-notch, super friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration, especially on the terrace. The dining experience was very nice, although the breakfast could use a bit more variety. Overall, a wonderful stay.
