The hotel has a terrific location, making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit small and outdated. The service was a mixed bag; while one staff member was friendly, others didn’t seem very helpful. Overall, the experience was decent for the price, but some improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel is situated in a charming location, reminiscent of an old castle, which adds a unique character to the stay. While the rooms were super tiny for the price, the powerful warm shower definitely made up for it. The service was friendly, although the staff seemed a bit grumpy, probably due to being understaffed. Overall, it was a decent experience, but the room size and understaffing were not ideal.

The hotel has a fantastic location, very close to the historical buildings, making it ideal for sightseeing. The rooms are quite isolated, which means no disturbances from neighboring rooms, but I found them to be hot and stuffy due to the lack of air conditioning. The service was helpful and offered great recommendations for local dining. However, I did find the overall experience a bit lacking due to some facilities needing improvement.
