The hotel is a hidden gem in the historical area, offering a cozy stay with lovely surroundings and a top-notch breakfast. The rooms are modern and spacious, providing every comfort you need, but the air conditioning could be more effective. The service is outstanding, with attentive staff going above and beyond to make your stay memorable. However, the in-house dining options are limited, and the cakes are a must-try. The facilities are convenient, but the parking might be a bit tight during peak times.
