The hotel is located right inside the city walls, the place is gorgeous and great if you want some memorable photos or to just stay in an interesting and different environment. Our only two comments are on the noise, since the place is so pretty, tourists do come for photoshoots at night and it can get a bit loud, but that doesn’t last too late as the lights are turned off before midnight. And secondly, the unless this is something you like, the mattress is extremely firm and it almost feels like you’re sleeping on solid ground. Breakfast is a small and simple buffet, we ate well. The man on staff was very helpful and brought us a heater when the heat wasn’t working in our room. Definitely a place that we’d recommend, you get a lot for the cheap price and for all the issues, the beauty of the place and its location more than makeup for them.

We got a clean, traditional room, everything was there what you need for a stay. The house looks like a traditional house from the past, very nice. We also got a breakfast, which was basic but tasty and enough to not be hungry. There is a free shuttle from the city gate to the hotel available, just confirm that with accommodation before arrival
