Charming Stay in a Good Hotel

complimentary soft drinksmultiple optionshelpful informationelevator service

The room included a mini-bar with complimentary soft drinks, which I found really nice. The breakfast had multiple options, including pastries, fresh fruit, and hot dishes. The staff provided helpful information about nearby attractions and restaurants. I was charmed by the nice courtyard, a quiet space for reading.

I was a little disappointed that the elevator was out of service . It made accessing upper floors difficult with luggage. I hope this issue is addressed soon .

the hotel location was quite central, a short walk to main square. it was acceptable.

The room was clean, i'll give them that. however, the decor felt dated, almost aggressively so. i also noticed that the soundproofing wasn't great. Street noise definitely filtered in, disturbing my sleep.
