My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small, were attractive and spotless, but being in a basement without windows and occasionally disturbed by music was a downside. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the city center, although a bit noisy due to street activity. The dining experience was wonderful, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, a decent value for the money.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were huge, exquisitely appointed and decorated, equipped with all necessary accoutrements, but a bit small. While my room faced the church, the evenings were noisy until around 10.30 due to youths using the passageway as a meeting place.
