Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel enjoys a prime location, situated in a wealthy area of the city and pretty close to the old city center. The peaceful pedestrian street adds to the charm of the surroundings. I had a pleasant stay overall, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly service. However, the dining experience with local products could be improved, and the facilities are somewhat basic.
The hotel is situated in a peaceful pedestrian street near the old city center, offering a tranquil setting. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the dining experience could be improved. The service is excellent, and the facilities are well-maintained.
This hotel is a hidden gem! The rooms are spacious and modern with breathtaking views. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming. Yet, the dining options were a bit pricey. The facilities, especially the pool, were top-notch, offering a luxurious experience. Overall, great value for money.
