The hotel is beautifully designed and offers a comfy stay, but the lack of air conditioning can be a downside due to the historic building's restrictions. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel welcomed. The location is great, close to the city center despite being a bit distant from some attractions. Overall, it provides good value for money, especially with the modern bathroom facilities.

The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable, though a bit small. I particularly enjoyed the king bed with its medium density mattress, perfect for a good night's rest. The modern bathroom and large shower were also a nice touch.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is located conveniently near the historical city center and several great restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the lack of air conditioning was a bit of a drawback since it’s in a National Heritage building. While the staff was very friendly and eager to help, communication was somewhat limited due to the language barrier. Overall, it was a good value for money, though improvements could be made in some areas.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the upside, the location is very convenient, close to great restaurants and the historical city center. The staff were welcoming and attentive, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the rooms were quite noisy and lacked air conditioning, making it less comfortable than I had hoped for. The pool had a nice view, but it wasn't very functional since it was across the parking lot.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my experience even better. However, the rooms felt a bit simplistic in terms of furnishings, and the dining options could use some variety.
