mixed feelings about this stay

convenient locationsmall roomstreet noise
the location was convenient, situated in the heart of the old town.
The room i booked, a 'double room balcony,' was quite small. There was hardly enough space to move around (definitely not what i expected). plus, the noise from the street was noticeable at night.

The staff provided service beyond expectations. Breakfast was quite good, served in a beautiful courtyard each morning. The building itself features top-level restoration, reflecting respect for history and tradition. The rooms were cleaned regularly. This was appreciated.
