I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the heart of the city with shops all around. The rooms are cozy and the staff is attentive and friendly. However, the dining options were limited. The facilities were modern and well-kept, making my stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel's location in the alley was unique and charming, plus it was so close to everything you could need. The room with its really comfy bed made me feel like I was sleeping on a cloud, but the dining experience with only grilled meat options left me wanting more variety. The service, especially the housekeeping, was top-notch, and the facilities were just what I needed to relax.

The hotel is nestled in a lively alley, very close to the promenade and absolutely everything you might need. The rooms boast a really comfy bed and are surprisingly spacious, but I found the price a bit on the higher side. The service is top-notch with superb housekeeping. The location couldn't be better for exploring the area, but dining options are limited to delicious croissants. The facilities are modern with all the necessary amenities, making the stay convenient and enjoyable.
