The guesthouse is conveniently located near various attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot or using local transit options. However, the area can get a bit shady at night, so caution is advised when returning late, especially for solo travelers. The rooms are decently sized for a European B&B, but noise from the main street, including loud outside activities, could disturb a good night's sleep at times. The service was mostly efficient and pleasant but could have been more welcoming.

6.6/10

I found the hotel to be in a convenient location, close to many tourist attractions, which was great. The rooms were not ideal as mine was at the back of the property in an annex building, away from the main part and facing an alley, making it uncomfortably hot and difficult to sleep well. The service was a bit of a mixed experience; most staff members were friendly and helpful, but the requirement to hand in the key every time I left the building felt unnecessary and slightly rude. The dining options were good overall, with a nice variety, but the breakfast selection could use some improvement. Despite these drawbacks, my stay was decent and I would consider recommending it.
