Great boutique hotel
Pros:

Cute boutique hotel in the heart of old town. My room was quite small but functional. Had a window to the Main Street and no issue with the noise. Complementary minibar is a bonus. Clean and comfy bed. Débora from reception was helpful and kind

Cons:

I was expecting the bar be open until later. Also reception closes at 10pm but they send you the instructions to easily get the key and to find the way to your room

Top Hotel, top Lage, gutes Frühstück.
