Comfortable and clean hotel and good location. . stayed twice and would return again . Already stayed tw
Pros:

Hotel itself is very beautiful and well maintained . Housekeeping was outstanding. Reception desk helpful always . Car left safe in courtyard parking for a daily fee. Roof area spectacular.

Cons:

Breakfast and coffee should be included in price. Small interior bar would be nice too but I guess conflict because of next door restaurant. Also a self service washer and dryer would be a great help . However we walked nearby to do some laundry.

The hotel had a good location, but it was very outdated, the air conditioning barely worked and overall it felt overpric
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

The hotel was very outdated and in urgent need of renovation. The furniture, walls and overall interior looked old and worn out. Even the air conditioning did not work properly which made the stay quite uncomfortable.

Pros:

L'hotel està al rovell de l'ou de la ciutat, és moooolt cèntric.
Sempre hi ha algú a recepció per atendre't les 24 hores. La persona que hi havia durant la tarda-vespre, que es deia Daria, era amabilíssima i ens va donar consells molt útils. Li estem molt agraïts!

The hotel is in the very city center, amazing location.
There's always someone at the reception desk to help you. The person who was there in the afternoon-evening, called Daria, was so nice! She gave us plenty of useful advice. We really appreciated it.
