Good comfortable and well-located

Very well located. Only disappointment was that the hotel car park was full. If the website had made clear that this needed to be booked, I would have done so. As it was I had to lug heavy bags quite a distance with no offer of help. On the plus side, breakfast was excellent

Lovely central hotel

Lovely hotel right in the centre. Comfortable room, good bathroom with lovely toiletries. Tasteful decor in communal areas. As it is a small hotel it’s a good idea to inform them when you will arrive.

Really good location. Room not huge but very comfortable. Bathroom was very big though and very nice. Breakfast was excellent and staff very friendly. Secure car park was also a bonus. Would stay here again.

Wonderful in every way!

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this hotel except you must stay here! Everything was wonderful from start to finish. On arrival the excellent signs guide you through the narrow streets to the hotel garage. Make sure your book a place as they are popular & there is no real obvious alternative. The welcome from Cindy could not have been warmer, check-in super quick & we were soon wandering round this beautiful city as the hotel is in the centre. The room was beautiful with lovely views of the streets below. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom huge & there was no noise all night. Breakfast was not the cheapest at 9 euros but exceptional in every way & well worth it! Only tiny negative was the door handle had been fitted the wrong way so you had to hold the door knob turned to unlock the door! Love this hotel & will definitely be back.
