This hotel had an excellent location, right on the main street next to shops restaurants, and only a short walk away from all major attractions. It was a bit dated, and the rooms were not particularly large, which is typical of European hotels. However, the staff was super helpful and the breakfast was lovely. There was a wide selection to choose from, and we enjoyed the coffee service. There was a lovely bar and bakery on the premises.

We stayed for 4 nights. The location of the hotel is perfect, everything is nearby. The room was clean with enough space for our bags. Staff was polite and very helpful. Breakfast was excellent, in particular bread and pastries! Some reviews mentioned noises at night due to its location but it was very quiet and we didn't need to use ear plugs. It may be because we stayed in weekdays, though. We will come back to the hotel again and recommend this hotel to other people.
