“This hotel's central location is a definite advantage. While breakfast disappointed with its uninspired and somewhat stale offerings, the property's commitment to its antique aesthetic-from room décor to mosaic walls-creates a distinct and memorable atmosphere, particularly appealing to couples seeking a vacation with character.”

Central Location and Friendly Service!

central locationnice staffgood breakfasteasy exploration

The hotel boasts an amazing location! It sits right in the historical center. This made it easy to explore. I especially liked the staff because they were super nice. The breakfast had a great selection. I found it to be really good.

I found the hotel to be slightly old. It could definitely benefit from some maintenance. The hotel, despite its age, still offers a unique experience.

The location is excellent. It is close to the railway and metro stations. Many restaurants are within a short walk of the hotel. The air conditioner in my room worked effectively. This helped maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature.
