Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had quite small rooms that felt a bit cramped, but the entrance hall was a nice touch. Didn't have the chance to try the spa. The service was extremely friendly and supportive, especially towards our kids. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and in a quiet area. The dining experience was below average, with limited options for breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay and very clean, although some aspects were showing signs of age like peeling wallpaper. The accommodations were just right for a family of four. The service was overwhelmingly helpful and friendly, with a minor exception of one staff member who seemed less welcoming. The location was a highlight of the property, being within walking distance of shopping areas and major attractions. The dining options were varied and satisfying, offering wholesome and good meals with many choices. Overall, the hotel provides a clean, friendly, and comfortable experience at a great location, although there were some minor room maintenance issues and moments of less welcoming service.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms needed some maintenance, but they were comfortable with a nice view. The location was very convenient, close to all the important sights, though I had to walk uphill quite a bit. The service was friendly and helpful, offering good advice on sightseeing. The dining experience was satisfactory, but could have been better with more variety. The facilities were decent, and the price was fair for what was offered.
The hotel's rooms were spacious, accommodating a family comfortably, but lacked cleanliness under the beds and facilities for making drinks. The service was helpful and friendly but could be more professional. The location was near attractions but challenging for cab access. The dining experience offered a good variety but lacked certain options. Overall, a mixed experience in terms of cleanliness and service quality.
The hotel's rooms looked much bigger and much nicer in the pictures, but turned out to be not very convenient for our group of 3 adults and 2 children, feeling really cramped. The location was excellent, within walking distance to major tourist sites in the old town, but we were not compensated for any inconveniences.
The hotel had some room issues like the shower being awkward to climb into and various maintenance issues, however, it was clean with twin beds. Service was a mix of unfriendly and unhelpful and room service was subpar. The location was excellent but noisy at night, while the dining meals had limited options. Despite these drawbacks, the homemade pasta was great.
