My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a really big bathroom stocked with toiletries. I loved the huge ceiling in the room, it added a lovely touch. The service was a bit lacking as the receptionist seemed to be on holiday and wasn't too concerned with providing good customer service. The location was convenient, just outside the central area but within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was satisfying with hot food available and fresh local bread. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor service issues.
