My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were spacious, clean, with a huge comfortable bed, and beautifully decorated with a mix of historical charm and modern touches. However, street noise could be heard from the front door, suggesting a need for better soundproofing. The service was exceptional, with attentive and obliging staff making my experience truly enjoyable. The location in the heart of the old city was perfect, offering a relaxing and gorgeous setting with easy access to all the action. The dining experience was top-notch, offering a wide array of delicious options. However, there were some noise disturbances in the room and on the street that affected the overall tranquility of the stay.

Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. The rooms were immaculately clean and beautifully decorated in modern colors, featuring a fantastic shower and a lovely balcony with comfortable chairs. The location in the historic area added to the charm, offering a view of the lively square in front of the hotel. While the service was superb and the staff extremely helpful and accommodating, the dining experience was a standout with a special section dedicated to children's needs. The central location within the walled city, surrounded by restaurants and music venues, truly made it the icing on the cake.

My stay at the hotel was truly amazing. The rooms were cozy, well-equipped, and overlooking the pool in the newer part of the hotel. The terrace added a lovely touch to the room. However, the ongoing renovation in the location did make it a bit messy. The service was top-notch, with incredibly well-trained staff who were always ready to help. The dining experience was excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options available. The facilities were great, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is buried in the old town on a charming square, offering views of the city walls and ocean. The modern rooms, although a bit small and facing a wall instead of the expected pool view, are great, except for some street noise. The service was warm and welcoming, enhancing our overall experience. The location is a hub for exploring the city, but the dining area could use some improvements in cleanliness.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although clean and well-kept, were quite outdated and lacked personal touches. On the bright side, opting for a pool-front room with a balcony didn't break the bank.

Rooms

The rooms below the roof with a view to the square were very nice and kept very clean. However, they felt really outdated, with cold floors and uncomfortable bedding. The old TV barely worked, which was a letdown.

The service at the hotel was top-notch, thanks to Leslie and Marco. They left thoughtful gifts, decorated the bedroom beautifully, and even enacted a traditional 'lighting ceremony' each evening, reminiscent of old customs.
