My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The room was lovely, spacious, and upscale, providing a comfortable and charming atmosphere despite some initial cleaning needed on my part. The service was top-notch, with a young man at reception who was polite, customer-oriented, and had a fabulous 1800's beard. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the Old Town, providing easy access to all the main attractions. The dining experience was good overall, offering a nice variety of dishes, though the freshness of bread and pastries could have been better.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room was a little on the small side, which was expected in the old town, but it was large and clean with thoughtful amenities like coffee and tea making facilities and a well-equipped mini bar. The service was a bit inconsistent, with young staff not always being attentive, but they were extremely friendly and helpful, offering assistance with various bookings and services. The location was a definite highlight, being in the middle of the old town, making it easy to walk to major attractions and access public transport easily. The dining options had a good choice of high-quality dishes despite some products of mediocre quality. The facilities were decent overall.
