The place was perfect for my goal: walking distance to the Forum. Clean bed, hot water, historical building, high ceillings, different from other places check-in method. This place has a character. Despite arriving late and checking out earlier than usually expected from guests hours the staff ladies made it work for me smoothly. Thank you!

This place is good for someone who doesn't want to sleep at night. It was impossible to sleep anything. This place is a hotel & bar. From 9pm till next morning 7am there was a loud music. If people want to have a quiet lovely night definitely do not go to this place! Also, the Hotel doesn't have own carpark. You have to find on street.

The area of the property is good because it's situated in the town. However, the Hotel and room is very old and shower is very bad and old. Also, you have to park your car on the street outside so not very safe at all.
