The location places you directly in the Sassi area, and the hotel enhances this with culturally themed decor. I especially appreciate the creative designs, some including jacuzzis and terraces.”

I thought the location was really central. It was in the heart of everything. The staff appears very friendly to me. They really enhance the feeling of this trip.
The room I get it was very small. It has two floors. Downstairs consist of a cupboard and bathroom, also a small space for luggage.

Really good Stay Experience

city views stone shower delicious breakfast
The location provided magical city views. My suite featured a comfy bed and a separate stone shower. The staff were helpful. They explained the exploration options thoroughly. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The receptionist was very friendly.
I noticed cleaning equipment under the sink, and a dripping tap needed attention. These small issues slightly detracted from an otherwise great experience.
