“This beautiful hotel has great rooms, wonderful staff, and a solid breakfast. We enjoyed breakfast on the rooftop, used the spa, borrowed bicycles for a ride around town, and lounged in the shallow pool. We'll definitely return and recommend it to anyone seeking a new boutique hotel a few blocks from the old city wall. The area is safe.”
