10/10 Exceptional! (155 reviews)

This is a fantastic property! It is a small boutique apartment hotel with lovely rooms and a very nice courtyard. Our room was 1000 ft.² with two bedrooms and a kitchen and the living area. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend this hotel it is in the heart of the old town - walking distance of the major sites.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (389 reviews)

Staff was very nice and helpful; hotel was secure (front gate locked as well as parking area); good and plentiful breakfast; very cute and quaint hotel charm; no heat in rooms in September so staff brought space heater upon request. We had a car, which we parked on site, location may be hard without a car as it didn’t appear to be an easy walkable location. Overall a very nice and economical stay. Would recommend and also stay again
