The hotel provided a relaxing stay with spacious rooms featuring pine-scented green products and a cozy bathtub, although a fan would have been a nice addition. The service was attentive, especially at the reception desk, and the staff were accommodating. The location, close to major attractions in the Old City, was perfect for exploring, yet a bit distant from the train station. Dining options were healthy and varied, catering well to vegetarians.
