“I appreciate the location within the historic old city and the rooftop views showcasing landmarks; the staff seems particularly dedicated to guest support, including luggage assistance. However, some may find the dated infrastructure a drawback, as some past guests have experienced issues with water quality. Ultimately, this hotel appears to offer a trade-off between historic charm and modern amenities.”
