Totally Amazing Stay! Highly Recommend!

split leveljuliet balconyquirky doorperfect location

I had a blast here! My room, a duplex suite, it had a split level setup . The large window had this awesome juliet balcony and it looked right out over the busy street. The hotel hid behind a quirky door that leads into a courtyard, so cool. The location is perfect for getting around the old city!

The wifi in my room was really slow and a bit spotty to be honest. I had some trouble connecting sometimes.

The hotel is currently being renovated and gorgeous result are visible everywhere. I saw a mix of contemporary and antique furnishings. Breakfast has a plethora of baked goods, squeezed juice, and eggs cooked to order, it is amazing. There is elevator in this building.

Location

This hotel is right in the heart of the historic center, it makes walking to restaurants easy. The building overlooks a courtyard and once the door closes, the world outside disappears. Rooftop terrace is setup for drinks with amazing views over the city.

I was a bit disappointed . The breakfast buffet was quite limited. One morning, I arrived at 9 AM and it was almost empty. I was told it was because I was among the last guests. Another morning, the buffet wasn't ready at 7:30 AM even though breakfast should have started at 7 AM.. The selection felt very meager overall.
