I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were super comfy and clean, and I really appreciated the mini fridge. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when I needed assistance for my mother. However, it did get quite loud at night, and the overall condition of some areas wasn't ideal. Still, the location was convenient for exploring the town, which added some value to my stay.

My stay at this hotel was pretty good overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the historic center and surrounded by great dining options. The room was nice, and having a balcony was a plus, although it did get a bit noisy at night due to the thin windows. The staff was very accommodating, especially when they allowed us to check in early. However, the breakfast could have been improved for more variety and quality.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the city and getting to know the local scene, while the rooms were spacious and had a modern shower. However, the service was a bit lacking initially, as we had to ask for basic amenities. Overall, it’s a decent place for the price, but a few improvements would make a big difference.

The hotel is located in a hip area that feels vibrant without being overwhelmed by tourists. My room was spacious, though I had to ask for basic amenities like soap and a hairdryer. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making my stay more enjoyable. While the noise from the surroundings was a bit distracting at times, overall, I found it to be a good value for my money.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite average and could use a bit of extra attention when it comes to cleanliness. On the bright side, the space was nice and roomy, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a relief. The service team was incredibly supportive, especially during a tough time with my mother needing assistance. The location is great, surrounded by fun bars and restaurants, just a short walk to the walled city. However, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at times.
