What a delightful find! This hotel is such a charming oasis in the midst of the old town. I loved how close it was to plenty of dining and shopping options while still being tucked away from the noise. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, but I did find the lack of room service a bit inconvenient at times. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely a place I'd return to!
