My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms are nicely laid out, spacious, and well-equipped with thoughtful amenities like a robe and slippers, though I missed having a fridge.

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The dining experience was satisfactory with a decent selection of options. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel offers a spacious and comfortable stay with an essential air conditioning feature for the summer months. The on-room espresso machine and balcony add extra charm, along with a delightful private garden. However, dining options could be expanded for a more satisfying experience. The central location above the main square provides easy access to explore the old town and enjoy the surroundings.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although compact, were functional and clean with a comfortable bed. However, the key entry system was a bit tricky to use, and there was some disturbance from road noise. The rooms were simply furnished but comfortable, and the daily towel change was appreciated.

The dining experience was simple but really nice. The variety of hot and cold items, fresh pastries, and made-to-order coffee made for a satisfying meal. Although an in-house restaurant would be beneficial during cold or rainy weather, nearby options like Kuuhl provided excellent choices.
