Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, right by the riverside and close to the old town. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the service was top-notch. The dining options were tasty, but I wished there were more regional dishes available. The facilities were great, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience overall.
