• Halima from Ireland – 9 September 2024 (9/10)

  Good position in the old town, you reach by walking everything and easly. Nice cottage atmosphere, very quiet and peaceful.

• Peter from Canada – 8 September 2024 (9/10)

  Located in the centre of the old city within easy walking distance of the main attractions. Surrounded by numerous outdoor restaurants and a minute away from the Town Square. Shielded from the street noise by an ancient courtyard. Enjoyed staying in the building that was over 500 years old but nicely renovated.
  
  What could be improved: All good for me but not the place to stay if you so called luxury hotel accommodation.

• George from Ireland – 31 August 2024 (10/10)

  I had breakfast in a nearby coffee shop.

• Oleg from Russia – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  Everything went easy and smoothly and as expected, and if anything, the host was super quick to respond and support.
  
  What could be improved: The location was too near the very heart of the city – could not meet my 10000 steps target that day – kidding – the location is super!
