I appreciate that beyond the expected amenities, the hotel offers family-friendly accommodations and an inner garden with a pool, a rare and welcome treat in the city center.

romantic hideaway

abundant breakfasthelpful staffstrong sensebeautiful touch
i adored how close it was to everything. the staff, they were kind and helpful. the breakfast was abundant and tasty. the SOUL of the building, it gave a strong sense of history, a really beautiful touch, i didn't expect that.
it's a minor detail, but worth mentioning. it can be startling at first, but one gets used to it quickly.
