“This hotel, situated in the heart of the Old City, impressed me with its blend of modern comforts and historically rich setting, though I did note one concerning review about front desk service. The rooftop terrace offers city views, and I appreciate the effort to create personalized experiences. If they address the service concerns, it could truly shine.”
