Absolutely dreamy experience!
superb location exposed stone heated floors amazing shower
The hotel's location is superb. It is very close to the main square, only steps away. The architecture combines exposed stone, concrete, glass and brick to give a brilliantly presented building. The shower was amazing. It was the best shower facility I ever had. The bathroom floors are heated. This ensured comfort.
The coffee in my room lacked milk. I think that having it available would be ideal.

Breakfast was the best with a huge and varied buffet of high-quality options, alongside a hot cooked offering. The kitchen staff were very attentive with our requests.

The junior staff were excellent. It seemed that they really enjoyed interacting with guests. They were very friendly and efficient. Little chocolates were provided and even a candle for my sister to blow out on her birthday.

dark room thin curtain
the location was just off the main square, so it was easy to find.
i was really disappointed during my five nights. the room was large but dark. the awful brown curtains provided were made from a cheesecloth-like material and had no blackout layer. every morning at 5:30, the sun was coming up right into our eyes through these thin curtains.

brick wall view useless blind
the gym had enough equipment for a decent arm workout, i suppose.
I was really let down by the room i was shown to initially, it faced a brick wall that was practically touching the window. there was a roof window, i guess for people on the roof terrace to watch us. the blind didn't block any light. It was quite useless
