The most enjoyable stay I've ever had in a hotel
Pros:

This was probably the most enjoyable stay I've ever had in a hotel. The hotel itself is a historic building, beautifully furnished in a way that reflects its heritage while keeping a light, fresh, modern touch. It is located directly in the old town, next to the city walls, gate tower, and barbican.

The rooms were very clean, with high-quality furnishings, and despite the central location, they were very quiet. The breakfast was fantastic — such a large selection of fine food that I didn't manage to try everything, even after staying for three nights.

But I have to say that the best thing about the hotel was the staff. From the reception team to the porters, management, restaurant and breakfast staff, bar staff, and cleaners, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. This makes such a big difference. I especially appreciated the insider tips from the receptionist, who kindly took the time to help me discover the city's traditions and culinary specialities, recommending places to visit and local dishes to try.

It's rare to find such a blend of professional discretion and warm hospitality, particularly in a hotel of this calibre in such a busy tourist destination. Thank you so much for the enjoyable stay!

Cons:

Quite honestly, nothing comes to mind that I didn't like. Somehow, the hotel staff managed to tick all the boxes for a perfect stay.

Lovely central hotel, excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Very central, in the old town.

Cons:

Booked a double room and expected a room like the photos: regal with a window but as we were on the top floor the room has roof windows. Wasn’t the room I expected so was disappointed.
