Old hotel, excellent staff/ service

No air conditioning, very firm mattresses, as can be expected in an older building there were not many plugs for recharging all our devices. Breakfast offered a good selection of options.

Nice hotel but odd experience with employees

Our stay was pleasant, although our room had strongly slanted ceilings. Unfortunately, the employees seemed very unhappy/annoyed to see guests: checkin and checkout were done by the most unenthusiastic employees I've seen in a hotel for a long time, and in the middle of my afternoon nap, a handyman (repairman?) appeared in our room using the master key. He claimed to need to fix a broken mirror, which was not the case. Later, another employee entered our room with the master key, seemingly not expecting it to be occupied.

Very attentive staff

This is a historic hotel which had been complete restored. It has wonderful architectural features such as parkay floors and Greek columns in the main dining room. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. They have a wonderful Spa area with both a large steam room and a large sauna, plus a pool and fitness area as well as they offer massages!

An amazing place to stay

The hotel is simply great. Having an old-fashioned design its maintenance is excellant with all the modern facilities one would like to have. The rooms are very comfortable and very good equipped. It is located in a very convenient location. The staff is very friendly, though it wouldn't hurt to make some improvements in the SPA services. Bottom line, it's highly recommended.
