It’s a great location and the staff were AMAZING!! I had a couple problems (not related to my stay and the front desk were so kind and knowledgeable. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. They have a great breakfast on the 6th floor with an early-bird discount. The neighborhood is amazing: restaurants, bars shops. The Cathedral only a couple blocks away- transportation is a breeze! Such a walkable city and public transportation is excellent!!

I was very grateful that the hotel was able to store my luggage when the room was not ready on day 1 and at the end of my stay. However, as a paying guest/customer, I was very surprised that I was not allowed to use the toilet facilities when I returned to collect my luggage.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. Friendly helpful staff and readily accessible to both, the old city and the newer city. Best of all, it was a 5 minute walk across a bridge from the our arrival train station. Note: for those with sensitive skin like me, I put a t-shirt over my pillow to stop the reaction from the scented detergent/dryer chemicals.

Marian

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property has nice features with exposed brick and old beams. Central location, but bring your earplugs if you want to sleep. Lovely bathroom but sparse looking bedroom with small paper cups and bathrobes that were too small, and only one size available. Colour scheme in the bedroom of black, white and dark grey curtains makes it all very sombre looking. Breakfast just about adequate with limited variety. Overall, the price we paid was far too much for what we got. Presume one is paying through rhe nose for the location.

The palace is located in the center of the town making it accessible to all forms of transportation. Being that the hotel is located in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old town, the noise didn’t bother me when I was in the hotel room. I also want to give a shout out to Luz, who prepared breakfast with the most delicious foods and baked goods! I can’t leave out the front desk staff either, they were all so helpful, joyful and friendly.
