I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and the bathroom was great, although the Wi-Fi wasn't working, which was my main reason for booking here. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot or using the nearby metro. The dining experience offered a wide selection of delicious options. The antique elevator was a charming feature of the hotel.

The hotel rooms were probably designed by a man with great design but lacking in functionality, a bit too small yet plush with quality fittings, set in an historic building very nicely rebuilt. The service was excellent, with staff very willing to help at every instance, catering excellently to client needs. The location was very convenient, walking distance to the old quarter and in the heart of the shopping district. The dining options were nice with lots to choose from, although more food available would enhance the experience.

The hotel's rooms were plush with quality fittings, albeit a little small, but still worth it. I recommend checking out the deals on the hotel website. However, my room was very small, and the bathroom was dirty from the last guest. There was no turn-down service, which was a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautifully decorated, offering a great view of the main square below, but they tended to get uncomfortably hot despite the air conditioning. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The location was superb, right in the center close to shops and restaurants, yet surprisingly peaceful. The dining experience was excellent, though priced on the higher side. Overall, a decent value for a stay with some minor drawbacks.
