Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praise the hotel's central location, historic atmosphere, and beautiful architecture, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. Many highlight the friendly and professional staff, as well as the delicious and varied breakfast. However, some guests note issues with cleanliness, particularly humidity and odors in rooms, and mention that some facilities and rooms feel dated.

Overall, the hotel's charm, location, and breakfast are standout features, though improvements in maintenance and service consistency are suggested.
