I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right in the lively square with lots of restaurants and bars. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had three comfortable beds, which was perfect for our group. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate us when our flight was delayed. The homemade muffins at breakfast were a delightful touch. However, some facilities could be improved, and the price was a bit high for the value received.

The hotel is centrally located, surrounded by various bars and restaurants. The rooms are beautifully furnished with a lovely bathroom, and in very good condition, offering comfortable accommodation with three beds. The service was exceptional, as the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us when our flight was delayed and diverted, showing a welcoming attitude. However, being close to a nightclub that operates until 5 am could be a downside for light sleepers.
