This hotel is truly remarkable! The rooms are perfect, very clean, and boast comfortable beds. The tall ceilings and stone work create a striking ambiance, and the kitchen area is beautiful and spotlessly clean. However, the staff's attitude can be a bit harsh and uncomfortable at times. The fantastic central location is right in the middle of town, yet hidden from the street noise.
