"We had the most amazing experience at this hotel! We enjoyed our stay so much that we actually changed the second part of our trip so we could stay here again. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location as well. The best part, though, is the breakfast. It absolutely blew us away! The selection and quality of the food were amazing, and we felt completely spoiled by all the options. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay!"

Boutique Hotel OPERA

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here for business travel and it was a wonderful experience. The location is great because it is in the city center. Most things are within walking distance. The rooms are definitely on the smaller side, but I was able to make it work. The pool is small but the views from the rooftop bar was great as well. A slight warning: the hotel is tucked away and isn't really visible from the street. We had to circle back before we found where it was, but after that, there was no issue. The breakfast was the best I've had at any hotel. Lots of options and everything was very fresh. Mario, the waiter was really friendly and attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The coffee was also really good. Aida at the front desk was wonderful as well. She gave us many recommendations on places to visit, and also gave us opinions/more details on places that we picked ourselves. She also told us about a famous pizza place where she had the best pizza ever. We were unfortunately unable to go there as we didn't have time, but it's nice having recommendations that we would have otherwise not even found. Would absolutely consider staying here again."
