The location is AMAZING!!! It is right in the heart of everything. The staff was very helpful . Breakfast was also nice, it provided enough options to start the day.
The stairs to reach the reception were difficult. I had a lot of luggage. I noticed some noise in my room from old equipment. It was an extractor fan in the bathroom.

The staff provided assistance with my luggage, which I thought was very thoughtful. The location proved convenient for accessing key attractions. The railway station was also accessible. The hotel offered complimentary Prosecco and Red Wine during "Happy Hour," which I enjoyed each evening.
The stairs leading up to the hotel entrance presented a minor inconvenience. I needed assistance with my luggage.
