Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a charming gem tucked in the heart of the historical walled city, offering a cozy stay with a plunge pool and an enchanting patio. The rooms are comfortable with great amenities, while the friendly staff go above and beyond to assist. However, the dining options are somewhat limited, and some hospitality training would benefit the service.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it a peaceful and calm retreat any time of the day. Each room has its own unique charm, from the old wardrobes to the spacious modern baths. The service was professional and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. The location was perfect, close to fantastic restaurants and sites, yet maintaining a quiet atmosphere. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of local delicacies to savor. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel provides cozy rooms with some limitations in hanging and storing clothes. The accommodations feature a queen bed, a table and chairs, one bathroom, and a loft with another queen bed above it. Our room was located on a higher floor surrounding a small courtyard, offering sufficient space and a well-equipped bathroom.
