My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms offered great views of the hills, although the air conditioning wasn't functioning well. I enjoyed lounging in the comfy armchairs and the quality linens added a nice touch. The service had its ups and downs, with some communication issues and delays, but room service and other amenities were available. The location was very quiet, set in the old part of town, making it a relaxing stay with convenient access to nearby attractions. The dining experience had its drawbacks, such as hot plates for cooked food, but the quality was decent. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel was set in a quiet area but still close to everything, just about a ten-minute walk into the center. The rooms were equipped with all necessary amenities, making my stay comfortable. However, there were a few instances where service seemed lacking, leaving me waiting multiple times. The location was ideal, within walking distance of everything, and very quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. The dining experience offered good quality food but could use some improvements. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.

The hotel was in a quiet area but still close to everything, offering a peaceful stay yet within reach of all the attractions. The rooms were not cleaned or provided with fresh towels as expected, although they did come with all the necessary amenities. The dining experience was mixed, with hot food served on extremely hot plates, while the freshly made sandwiches were a highlight. The service was hit or miss, with instances of staff going beyond and others seeming unaware of issues. Overall, a peaceful location with some room for improvement in service and room cleanliness.
