Perfectly located (quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, but right next to it all for ease of access). The room was spacious. Staff was kind and welcoming and helped us with our needs any time we needed it. All provided at a reasonable price given the location and the space in the room.

Place was nice and cosy. About a 10 min walk to the center. There was construction noises during the day. Bathroom wasn't the best.

They had no two beds available so I had to share a double bed with my son. Miriam felt so bad she gave us the giant family room instead!! She was very sweet and super helpful! It’s an old building so expect an old feel but it came with a fridge and we loved the giant room (especially after all the closet sized rooms through Europe and uk 🇬🇧). My only complaint is the firm beds and pillows.. I prefer more soft pillows and mattress’. I would stay here again! Google makes things look far for walking but it’s all very close!!

Ho avuto un problema con la connessione del telefono, la Sig.ra è stata cortesissima facendo il check- in in largo anticipo per usufruire della connessione wifi. Grazie di nuovo! La struttura è carina, pulita e vicino al centro ( in 20 minuti si arriva nella old city);ci siamo trovati benissimo, consigliato vivamente.
