The hotel boasts high ceilings and big windows, providing a luxurious feel, yet the rooms lack spaciousness. Despite offering adequate storage space and amenities like a refrigerator, bath amenities, towels, TV-set, Music Center, and bathrobes, the absence of a window may be a downside for a longer stay. Some updates could be needed in the future.

The hotel is located right in the center of the old city, making it convenient for exploring the area on foot. The rooms were a bit lacking due to the absence of air conditioning and noise issues at night. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being lovely while others not so helpful. The dining experience offered a mix of positive and negative aspects, with repetitive options but a standout breakfast. Visually, the location was a key highlight but also the sole redeeming feature.
