I must say, the hotel is nestled in a prime location, making it a breeze to reach top tourist spots with just a short stroll. The rooms were a surprising mix of old-fashioned charm and modern comfort. On the downside, the bathroom felt cramped, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired. The breakfast staff, unfortunately, were far from welcoming and left me feeling rather put off. Opting for a room without a view didn't quite meet my expectations either.
