The staff was phenomenal..very kind and very helpful. The food was perfect way more than I could imagine eating with so many options of meat, pastries and bread. The environment was fancy yet cozy. The view was gorgeous and a good place to walk around! The bed wasn’t that comfortable but that’s so small complaint compared to the amazing experience I had I didn’t think twice about it. I will be going back next visit!

If you are looking for a "A room with a view" atmosphere, that's it. The hotel is in a mid-XIXth century palace, rather well mantained, even if a few things in the rooms should be updated. Staff members are extremely kind and ready to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Furthermore, the hotel is very close to the railway station and to the city center.

5-star rating for the staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Convenient location, just a couple of minutes walk to the main attractions. Beautiful garden and closed paid parking. Great rooftop view. The hotel itself needs immediate renovation. The smell of mold in our room got me sick after two nights and to help the air conditioning system is so old that the room never got the temperature down. When we arrived at the room, room was not very clean and it had hairs from the previous guests in the bathroom and on the furniture at the feet of the bed. Mattresses are already losing consistency probably because they are too old. It is a family owned hotel and therefore I will be more lenient on these facts than I normally am and hopefully they will make me the necessary renovations for us to come back again.
