8.98
Most guests describe the staff as friendly, welcoming and helpful; one report of unhelpful staff regarding a lost bag slightly tempers an otherwise strong service record.

Repeated praise for central, ideal location (walking distance to attractions, on/off main square) makes location a standout strength.

Rooms are frequently described as spacious, characterful and comfortable with good air conditioning and firm but quality bedding; a few mentions of firmer-than-expected mattresses.
Amenities
8.7
Good on-site amenities noted (parking, Nespresso, fridge, EV charging), but the basement windowless pool and paid parking lower the score slightly.
Value for Money
8.56
Overall positive experience suggests good value, though paid parking and some disappointment with breakfast quality for some guests reduce perceived value a bit.

Hotel estupendo
Pros:

Hotel con encanto. Habitaciones muy agradables, grandes, con muy buen aire acondicionado y buenas camas. Tuvimos un problema con el baño en la habitación que nos dieron y nos cambiaron de habitación sin problema. Desayuno excelente. Muy buena relación calidad precio. Ubicación excelente.

Cons:

Había muchos grillos en los balcones de la habitación, aunque no "cantaban" casi nada, por lo que no fueron molestos a la hora de dormir, pero se colaron por algún sitio en la habitación. Esto lo digo por si a alguien le molestan los "bichos".

Friendly and welcoming.
Pros:

Great location. We were welcomed by 2 lovely receptionists, they were very friendly and helpful.
The room was very nice. Great parking in the garage.

Cons:

The quilts on the beds are far to thick even with the aircon on. Like in most hotels we took the quilt out of the cover ( in the middle of the night ) and turned the air-conditioning down.
Still spoils your nights sleep waking up hot.

Pros:

Bel hôtel, bien situé. Très pratique pour le parking.

Cons:

Le manque d'amabilité d'un membre du personnel au service petit déjeuner. Ce dernier doit apprendre à saluer les clients à leur arrivée
