Pleasant stay in Great location🥰
Pros:

Great location ! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast and super attentive waitresses . The room was cosy , with comfortable bed. We did not like the pillows( super hard) and got new pillows very promptly. Every night they come with cart to offer still or sparkling water. Over all we are very pleased with our stay.

Overall, one of the best experiences EVER!!
Pros:

OMG what an exceptional customer service experience from the moment that we arrived through our departure! In particular, Elvis, the Front Office Supervisor, went above and beyond on several occasions. One in particular: on the day of our arrival, we were exhausted from two days of travel. Although the pizzeria he recommended was only an approximate 3 mins walking distance, we did not want to try to navigate a new city. He offered to pick up our pizza for us as they did not offer delivery. He was extremely responsive, within minutes at most, to our every need! Trainee (aka Ernests) - impressive as well. Upon arrival, I found out that I had only booked two days and not three. He offered to extend the reservation as well as noticed we had booked through your site via my genius discount. He voluntarily offered to price match! He too was extremely responsive. Lastly, Juries, our bartender. My husband has traveled extensively both on business and on pleasure and noted that his vodka martini was one of the best ever! He was friendly, attentive and genuinely a nice individual. In addition, you can not beat the location as you step out the front doors and into the City Centre :) Overall, one of the best experiences EVER!!

Cons:

We were underwhelmed by the over pretentiousness of the Seasons menu and the chef's unwillingness to accommodate certain requests hence the reason that I only rated the facilities as a 3 versus a 4. Personal preference - I am not in favor very long, thin bath towels as I prefer smaller cushier ones. Lastly, their physical room keys can be cumbersome.

Pleasant stay at this hotel nicely located in old town. Good restaurant and friendly staff.
Pros:

Very friendly staff at Reception desk and in the bar. Good breakfast. Good food in the bar.

Cons:

No place to sit down in the lobby (no lobby actually) in the morning. Instead we could go to the bar, but it opens only at 12h00. Smoking permitted in the bar, serving food. It was not nice.

Pros:

Good location. Cozy small hotel with super friendly staff. Very clean every part of the hotel where we were. The staff brought a cake and glas of sparkling wine at breakfast. It was my husbands birthday and the staff had no problem making this surprise happen to him. The room was very quiet, couldn’t hear anything from the hall or other rooms. The church bells were guite loud in the morning. Would recommend the hotel for sure! The staff gets 6/5!
