The hotel interior is fantastic, with nice furniture and adorable decorations. However, the air conditioning was insufficient, and the rooms were in shabby condition. The staff immediately responded to my complaint, showing great service. The location is hidden in a quiet courtyard but quite far from the main squares. Dining options are good, especially with the outdoor seating area. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms weren't prepared upon check-in, there were some issues with the waste pipes, but on the bright side, the room was beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace, and complimentary toiletries were a nice touch.
