I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right on the old port with stunning views and so close to all the restaurants and shops. The room was cozy with an amazing view of the old harbor, and the bed was super comfortable. The service was top-notch, especially the housekeeping. However, the price was a bit on the higher side for the value received.
