"The room was average. The staff wasn't available at all. Even they didn't leave the keys for us, we had to call them many times and they weren't answering our calls. Terrible service."

"Cozy and beautiful, common areas were well maintained and nice as well. Location is fantastic. Only thing that brings my score down is the shower sensor that does not allow for a comfortable experience whatsoever. All in all would recommend though."

"The Hostel is great for the price.
The cleaning lady is working nonstop, and the results are visible. Receptionists are kind and helpful. The location is excellent! About a 10-minute walk from the castle.
The negatives are that there are only 4 bathrooms for everybody, with 3 showers. On weekends, when there are more people, it can get busy. Moreover, during peak shower usage, if you are the last one, the warm water may have run out.
I stayed for two weeks, and I would go back. I paid about 50...

"I upgraded to a private room when I got there so I didn’t really get to experience the shared room. It was a great location. I love that. I had a private outdoor courtyard to get to my room and a private Terrace. The room itself was small but doable nice little bathroom, hot water in the shower. The only thing is that when it rains the ceiling leaked and I had to put the garbage pail to get the water but no big deal. They do deliver breakfast to your room which is nice and the people that worked...

"It was alright, but the window in my room did not close fully despite all of my efforts. I had to cram a towel in the crack just to get some sleep because it was so loud. Otherwise a good experience."

"The feel of the hotel as you enter is cosy/familiar. The decor although not conventional is easy on the eye. The room was good, comfortable bed, good space in the bathroom, nice shower but the air-conditioning was a little noisy. Breakfast was very good avoiding the use of a buffet but just as extensive. We did not use the restaurant for any other meals. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful."
"Fantastic location, welcoming staff and reasonable breakfast but definitely some issues. Can’t see out of window or open them due to age of building. Room not dark enough with no blackouts. Terrible smell reported twice. Mostly though the problem was with the noise . Not sure if just our room but every morning woken by neighbours h ch old literally hear every word . As a building it is beautiful from the outside and the vibe etc was great but wasn’t a restful trip , noise and light ."
"This hotel was great. I had a wonderful time. The staff was very nice and respectful. They had great service awareness. They were two ladies at the concierge (front desk) that worked in the morning of April 5 2026, they were wonderful and professional. The bartender at night, a gentleman I think his name Oscar or Albert. He’s amazing he worked that weekend from April 3-5."
"The hotel was nice over all, good location and nice rooms, however only one pillow per person in the bed, with little to no neck support. On the second day I went to reception to ask if I could have an extra pillow and was told they had no spare pillows and to ask again the next day, which I did, again no spare pillows. It’s such a shame because had they either had better quality pillows in the first place, or at least a spare upon request, I wouldn’t have woken up through the night every night with dead arms, shoulder and neck pain. Sleep deprivation when you’re trying to enjoy a holiday is frustrating, especially given the size of the hotel it’s hard to imagine there was no spare pillows throughout the whole hotel. The staff were ok but not very helpful or empathetic and didn’t really seem to care for guest comfort."
"Perfect location , beautiful hotel and staff.
The spa was a great for relaxation after a day of walking , lovely breakfast too .
Would strongly recommend ."
