The hotel location is central. It made getting around easy. The staff was friendly. The breakfast included a good selection.

My room was quite small. There was no air conditioning, only a fan. I had to request the room be cleaned. Otherwise, towels were not changed.

Charming Stay in the Old Town

amazing breakfastguest satisfactionpacked breakfastnoise disturbance

I adored the amazing breakfast! The chef seemed dedicated to guest satisfaction. The selection included various options, the best I have seen in a hotel. I received a packed breakfast, and this was really helpful as I had an early departure for the airport.

A nightclub nearby caused some noise. This disturbance continued until 1 AM. I wish the hotel had better soundproofing.
