Guest Emotional Experience

Underrated GemsCourtyard Cat Family

“We were quickly moved to a ground floor room facing the rear (beside the lift) - which was a bonus because there was a family of beautiful cats living in the courtyard immediately outside the window, which my wife very quickly adopted.”

Abdul from United Kingdom

Quiet Nights for Busy DaysQuiet Historic Location

“The location was excellent if you want to stay in the historic/touristic part of the city but not deal with noise; it was very quiet at night on the back street.”
