I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to the train station and within walking distance of major sightseeing spots. The rooms were spacious with a stunning view, and the dining experience was top-notch. However, the noise from the square outside was a bit bothersome at times. Great value for money overall.
