The location is excellent, situated directly across from the train station. However, the room is quite old, and the windows lack curtains. Additionally, you can hear sounds from the hallway, as the room has poor sound insulation.

Perfect location for exploring

The room was lovely, a little hot but soon solved by simply opening the window on to the picturesque square below. Breakfast offered a good choice, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Really nice place to stay.

Staying in this hotel felt like we were royalty. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived three hours early but staff emailed us when it was ready, and they had already delivered our baggage to the room. Coffee was available in the room and the pillows and mattress were memory foam, so comfortable. The location is directly across the street feom the train station and in the middle of Old Town, where shopping and restaurants are located. This place is perfect!
