I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. However, I found the dining options limited, particularly at breakfast. The location offered easy access to the main attractions of the old town, but the hotel was a bit away from some shopping areas. Overall, it was a decent value for money.
