“Highly recommend”
The building is lovely and the style of decor etc. also very nice and the balconies with views over the street and plaza. Don't bother with the more expensive room types - they're not as nice; just have extra rooms. Very good breakfast; didn't test the takeaway breakfast, but they were willing to give us boiled eggs to take for the day. Location is perfect, just off the central square and as it's a pedestrianised road, the road noise isn't an issue. Felt like very good value. Liked it so much, we booked to return after our tour.

The location right on the plaza is perfect and close to all areas that tourists may want to visit. Staff was very attentive and helpful throughout. It is a historic building so there is no ac or elevator and with high ceilings the stairs can be quite a chore but staff helped carry our luggage. Breakfast was excellent, cooked to order. They provided a bag lunch for us due to a 5am checkout. The hotel has rustic charm and Juliet balconies that overlook the plaza.

“Wonderful stay!”
The hotel's location is perfect. Within walking distance of the main square and all sorts of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was clean and had everything you needed. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was good—you could choose from a variety of dishes. They even made breakfast for us when we had to leave early. I recommend the hotel!
