My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall, with comfortable rooms and excellent shower facilities. However, there were some issues with the power points in the room and the temperamental kettle. The location was very convenient for exploring the city on foot, but parking could be a challenge. The dining experience was versatile, though the coffee machine was broken. The staff, especially one of the younger lady members, were kind but seemed a bit overwhelmed with service demands.

The hotel is tucked away in a little square with a fountain in the old town, surrounded by restaurants that surprisingly don't disturb your peace at night. The rooms were immaculate, and the breakfast was very good. Although the room was clean, it felt a bit small, just slightly bigger than the 'charm room'.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is ideal, right in the vibrant heart of the city, but the noise from the lively square below can be disturbing at night. The room, although facing a bustling square with many restaurants, felt a bit exposed due to the overlooking courtyard windows.
