The hotel is in a superb location, perfectly situated to reach the main attractions without being too far from the train station. The rooms were comfortable, but the tiny bathroom was a bit cramped. The service was exceptional, with detailed assistance and a friendly atmosphere. The dining experience, although simple and sufficient, had a slightly scary encounter with a cockroach. The location was excellent, right in the heart of a historic zone with convenient access to various activities.

The hotel's location was excellent, close to the train station and all main attractions, though the rooms suffered from noise issues from the nearby pool and morning noise. The service was friendly overall, but not overly accommodating, and the dining options were limited. The location was a great aspect, while the dining experience left much to be desired.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were located down half a flight of stairs from the lobby and were very noisy, especially due to noise from the nearby hotel pool and bar. It was hard to sleep in later than 7-8 in the morning.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with some minor downsides. The rooms were surprisingly better than the photos, and I enjoyed a view of a beautiful courtyard. The mornings could be a bit noisy, though.

The rooms exceeded my expectations and had a wonderful view of the courtyard from a more expensive neighboring hotel.
