The hotel has a lovely location, overlooking the front with no traffic noise and a welcoming atmosphere. It is very close to everything and offers amazing views from the bell tower. The rooms are comfortable but have only a single bed, which might not suit everyone. The dining experience is enjoyable with delicious food and the possibility to eat outside. However, the hotel lacks some facilities and may be a bit overpriced.
