The hotel boasts high ceilings and big windows, providing a luxurious feel, yet the rooms lack spaciousness. Despite offering adequate storage space and amenities like a refrigerator, bath amenities, towels, TV-set, Music Center, and bathrobes, the absence of a window may be a downside for a longer stay. Some updates could be needed in the future.

My experience with the service was a mix of ups and downs. While they changed my room upon complaint of it being too hot and humid, there was an unpleasant argument. Additionally, they were not helpful with parking and laundry options.

The dining area had low ceilings, making taller guests uncomfortable. The coffee was subpar, and the croissants were consistently undercooked during my stay. The limited food selection was a downside.

The hotel offers a mix of positives like having an Apple player in the rooms for music lovers, but also some drawbacks such as the need for new mattresses and noise from the street until late at night.

The hotel is located right in the center of the old city, making it convenient for exploring the area on foot. The rooms were a bit lacking due to the absence of air conditioning and noise issues at night. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being lovely while others not so helpful. The dining experience offered a mix of positive and negative aspects, with repetitive options but a standout breakfast. Visually, the location was a key highlight but also the sole redeeming feature.
