"I booked this place because of the stellar reviews and was very surprised by what I experienced. My stay was not terrible, it was just not as amazing as the reviews led me to expect. The bed was comfortable but the room was very small. The staff was pleasant but I wouldn’t have said that the level of service made this hotel stand out. In fact one day we were just leaving our room when housekeeping arrived. We asked them to wait for 5 minutes so my husband could change his shirt and I could finish applying my makeup. Obviously they did not understand because they came in and squeezed by me in the bathroom to empty the garbage cans as I stood infront of the mirror. While I understand the language barrier, I would expect that most cleaning staff understand that they work around the guests’ schedule.
We didn’t use the pool because it was in shade for most of the day and the weather wasn’t super warm.
The breakfast was only okay. If you wanted an espresso beverage you had to pay extra for it. The addition of a self-serve cappuccino machine in the breakfast buffet would go a long way. The standout for us was the spa services. We booked a massage and it was excellent. I was sad that we didn’t have enough time to partake of a second one.
In summary, this hotel offers a basic stay about 15 minutes out of old town. "
