Spacious room with big window and beautiful view from the balcony. Nice outdoor pool area, and indoor pool with Turkish bath, sauna and gym. The room was always kept clean, but the balcony floor, table and chairs were dusty. We took the garage parking for 5euro per day. Nice breakfast with live piano. Loved our stay in this hotel.

We had an excellent stay. The breakfast buffet was a lot more elaborate than we expected, including a great pianist that gave us the pleasure of listening to Pink Floyd during breakfast. Front desk staff were friendly and provided great restaurant suggestions. The star of the show, though, was the exceptional Brazilian girl that runs the spa. I lost my esteemed gold necklace in the change room and she was the sweetest helping me find it. Thank you so much!!!

Excellent facilities, breakfast and location. Highly recommend. Only issue was one employee who worked in the dining room who started banging dishes, scowling and making a raucous almost the minute breakfast was over. Anywhere else, our experience is that staff would say that they are closing and inform patrons to get anything else they wanted before the out away the buffet.
Nice walk from hotel to the old city. Would stay again.
