The staff helped quickly when i needed assistance. I found the rooftop pool area relaxing. It had nice views of the cathedral. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices. This was Really good.
The access caused problems. The last 40 meters involved hauling baggage over road cobbles. It made arrival and departure a bit challenging.

fantastic central stay!

central locationsuper clean roomgreat recommendationwater bottle
i totally adored the hotel's central location. it made exploring super easy (everything was so close!). claudia kept our room super clean and comfy, and the reception staff gave us great recommendations. plus, night swims on the rooftop with those views? lovely!
one minor thing i noticed was that the water bottle wasn't always refilled (one free bottle is offered per night). but a quick call to reception fixed it right away. it was a tiny hiccup in an otherwise amazing stay!
