The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the old town, offering a beautiful traditional square setting. My stay was accompanied by a mix of pros and cons, with outstanding views from the lower floors but experienced issues with reservations twice. Despite these challenges, the service was attentive and even included welcome drinks and pet amenities. The dining experience was delightful with the option to cook your own eggs and relish hot, fresh bread. The facilities were well-equipped, and the overall value for money was worth noting.
