The history of the building is amazing and the way that is preserved, particularly in the dining room was amazing. It is in a noisy part of town near the Old Town square, so there is a bit of people partying noise at night but it was interesting enough place to stay that it was worth putting up with a bit of noise. The staff were super nice and helpful. It is central to walk to all the key places that we wanted to visit on our holiday.

The hotel is old and renovated, clean and quiet. One has to hold the shower head since there is no place to hang it. We had to attach a plastic bag to the glass attached at the tub to prevent the water from leaking.
