What a gem of a hotel! Perfectly situated in the heart of the old city, making it convenient to explore all the major sites. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a cozy atmosphere, but the Wi-Fi connection was a bit unreliable. The service was top-notch with a welcoming drink that set the tone for a fantastic stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's perfectly located right in the heart of Old Town, close to the Phlash bus stop, surrounded by charming historic buildings and set in a popular neighborhood. The rooms were modern and spacious, providing a great night's sleep, but the price was a bit higher than expected. The service was exceptional, and I was warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink. The location couldn't be any better for exploring the city, however, it comes with a premium cost. The dining experience was top-notch with delicious light snacks available, but the facilities could use some additional amenities to enhance the overall stay.
