Pros:

The location is great, but be careful with your luggage because you have to pass many stairs to reach the hotel. If your luggage is large, you may have trouble. The breakfast is very good, and the staff is friendly.

Cons:

I stayed only one night, and it would be worth spending two or three nights in this amazing city.

Was magic the place, Nancy in reception super helpful and nice, 100% recommend it
Pros:

Was in the center of the most amazing place, sassi, we love every second of this

Cons:

We were a little lost to get there, and after much of a step we found a fabulous place, recommend following exactly the directions that the hotel staff will sent to you, and will be super easy and not stairs

Pros:

Comme souvent avec booking , vous mettez des photos qui ne correspondent pas à la véritable vue..
Exemple ….je pensais avoir une vue sur les Sassi et j’ai une vue sur un mur..
Vous dites qu’il y a un parking…il faut garer sa voiture à 1 km et traîner ses valises jusqu’à l’hôtel..

Cons:

Ne pas être approximatif
