Brilliant little boutique hotel, great location, great staff and unbelievable breakfast
Pros:

The room was spacious and the bathroom was very large with excellent water pressure. Location was perfect for visiting the old town sites and near lots of local restaurants.
The breakfast was incredible in both variety and quantity. Could not finish even half and skipped lunch going straight to dinner at 8.30 pm. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the body. Staff were great and we organised through the hotel airport transfers to and from the hotel and they were prompt and very professional.

Cons:

Nothing

- die Zimmer sind groß und gemütlich, zudem liebevoll eingerichtet
- Organisierung zum Flughafen per Shuttle direkt möglich (nach IST 60€)

Very positive experience overall, recommend it.
Pros:

Very central location, a bit back from the main road which is good, not so loud.
The room was nice and specious, clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful, good English level.
Airport transfer was conveniently organized for us.

Cons:

The only negative for me was the way too stiff bed mattress.

Toller Aufenthalt, wir werden wieder buchen.
Pros:

Es war ein toller Aufenthalt im Hotel. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und man hat sich sehr aufgehoben und willkommen gefühlt. Das Personal hat uns sehr hilfreiche Tips gegeben und man konnte sie alles Fragen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Die Anlage war sehr sauber und das Frühstück fantastisch. Es gab kein Frühstücksbuffet sondern uns wurde ein Türkisches Frühstück serviert, was sehr gut war.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer was es etwas eng im Bad. Es konnte nur jemand alleine im Bad sein.

sehr angenehm
Pros:

Frühstück war außergewöhnlich. Reichhaltig und liebevoll zubereitet. diem Lage ist exzellent. rugige Staße und doch nicht nah bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Feundliches,hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war für 2 Personen sehr reichhaltig. Da sich das Hotel der Nachhaltigkeit verpflichtet fühlt, hoffe ich, dass die nicht benutzten Lebensmittel nicht entsorgt werden. Sehr schöne Zimmer.
