Reviews and Ratings
I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were wonderful, despite many empty rooms nearby. The grounds were well-appointed and fully accessible to all amenities. The location in the art suburb was just perfect, making it easy to explore the area. The dining experience was excellent with a good working order. Overall, a fantastic choice for accommodation.
I found the hotel to be across the street rather than in the same location as the advertised photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, the rooms were very spacious with high ceilings, making my stay comfortable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being super helpful and attentive, even catching a payment error I had made. The location was great in the heart of the historical center with good restaurants nearby, offering a pleasant and sunny atmosphere for relaxation. The dining experience was convenient, with good local restaurant choices available. Overall, a mixed experience with a few hiccups but great service and location.
This is my third time staying at this hotel, and I will absolutely be returning. It's charming in many ways and off the beaten track. The hotel provides reusable water bottles, showing efforts to reduce environmental impact.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, although it would have been nice to have a regular chair to sit on. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was central, making it easy to explore the town, and the dining experience was convenient and tasty. However, the patio was a bit messy, which was a downside. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its charm and good value.
Upon arrival, I found the hotel to be situated in a peaceful and exquisite location, surrounded by a calming atmosphere. The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also provided a pitcher for easy water refills and a daily glass bottle of water to reduce plastic waste. The service was exceptional, with attentive and professional staff ready to assist with various amenities. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the historical center near great restaurants and key attractions. Dining at Jasmin's restaurant down the street offered tasty snacks, although breakfast options were only available until 9 am. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, were not as luxurious as expected and not in the location shown in the photos. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for exploring the town but not as inviting as expected. The dining experience left much to be desired, with below-average options. Overall, a simple hotel with some positives and negatives.
