I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite tight on space with a small terrace, making it challenging to hang and put away clothes, which did not live up to the claim. However, the service was exceptional with friendly and extremely helpful staff offering great dining tips. The location was very good, right in the heart of the old town, making it easy to explore the lively streets. The dining experience was average but enjoyable, especially on the roof terrace. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.

The hotel offers a unique room layout with a charming spiral staircase, but it may feel cramped for some due to its small size. The lack of windows contributes to a damp atmosphere that needs updating. The service is exceptional, with helpful staff guiding on parking arrangements and providing valuable assistance. The location is ideal for those with cars, as convenient parking is available nearby. Dining options are limited, with basic breakfast selections not meeting expected standards.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, which offers a mix of character and charm in its rooms but falls short in terms of noise and chicness. The service was exceptional, with a very helpful and kind staff who made my parking and restaurant choices a breeze. The central location was ideal for exploring the lively streets of the old town, making it a great base for my adventures. The dining experience, while decent, had room for improvement, especially in terms of pricing. Overall, a pleasant stay.
