This was my first experience with a guesthouse, so I can't really compare. Overall, it was enjoyable. There were no issues, and the atmosphere was calm. Just keep in mind that the hotel is located in an old neighborhood near Arg, so it can be a bit crowded and parking can be difficult, but overall I recommend it.
Excellent, excellent
Overall, I had a good stay. The staff were friendly, and the cleanliness and service were also good. The hotel was nice.
I'll definitely come back 👌
It was a great experience, I was satisfied. Really from both the hotel and the staff's behavior, cleanliness and...
Very good, it could be better. But you could focus more on creating space and cleaning.
Cozy, clean, and with a very beautiful garden, I was worried about the cat but there were no problems. It would be nice to have an open cafe
In a nutshell, it was a complete disaster. I am really sorry for the money I paid
It was very good, we were very happy, especially the gentleman who was in the hotel reception was very friendly and nice. We made him very annoyed. I and my friends went for a girls' trip, it was very comfortable, like our own home. Access to tourist places is very good. Each time we wanted to go somewhere, we only needed one ride on Snapp.
I will not choose it again. I do not recommend it to anyone
