Great location, friendly staff, food OK.
Pros:

Location was great and the staff very welcoming. We opted for a suite that was very nice but a small issue with poor lighting (dim) and a few cobwebs in bathroom and also dirty windows that could be improved but really didn’t spoil our stay.

Cons:

Needs a good clean to make it really really good. Stairs only to our room but OK as hotel has character.

Not a four star hotel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

My heart sank when I saw the carpet and wallpaper on the way to our room. They were very old, well worn and smelt stale but our room was better. It is a three star hotel at best.

Very clean and modern inside, while keeping its old world charm on the outside.Nce central location
Pros:

The location was very central and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Reception area was a awkward walk along the narrow sidewalk by the busy main street.
Would be nice to know about the validated parking before checking in. Initially paid for parking before checking on.

Prima, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

Locatie en kwaliteit eten. Vriendelijk personeel !! Ook de extra informatie vooraf (geplande muziek festival) was prettig.

Cons:

Wat verbetering mag. Was de aanvoer van goederen die helaas vroeg in de ochtend plaatsvonden onder onze kamer. Is natuurlijk afhankelijk waar je kamer is.

Pros:

Posizione, ristorante per cena, staff reception, sala ingresso hotel e ristorante

Cons:

Il bagno: bagno datato.
Vasca da bagno con soffione solo a muro senza doccetta: acqua che usciva dalla doccia perché c’era solo la tenda (nel 2026 poco igienica, bisognerebbe mettere almeno una parte di lastra di cristallo per non far e uscire l’acqua). Bagno senza finestra e con ventola aerazione non sufficiente (rimanere tutto il vapore e l’unica era tenere la porta aperta sulla camera da letto). Unica luce del bagno a soffitto (terribile per truccarsi).

In camera da letto funzionava solo il tasto d’accensione che accendeva tutte le luci più forti (le applique accanto a letto non si accendevano ma solo una piccola da lettura (in teoria) ma che era insufficiente
