classic charm, great staff

great staff helpful staff
antonis was very patient with schedule changes across three busy days. he also booked taxis and tours that were timely and informative. i especially liked the painting near room 413, which i called firehorse.
the breakfast selection felt limited for a four-star hotel. some items like cheese, yogurt, and bread were often missing. finding a seat in the small room was difficult, and i was asked to wait in the lobby while holding my plate.

the hotel is very close to the main streets, so there is no need to take buses to walk through the city. it is a convenient location to many restaurants, so exploring the city and trying new cuisine is very easy.

The rooms were super clean and cozy. I did not spend a lot of time in the room other than to sleep. artwork decorates the walls throughout the hotel. the rooms also had toiletries, fresh towels and hairdryers

i found the room quite small for a four-star hotel. the electrical sockets didn't work, a problem i discovered late at night. staff didn't seem very concerned when i mentioned it at checkout.

great location free parking comfortable suite limited selection missing item room seating
the hotel had a great location, only a short walk to the town center. there was also free parking available, a plus. i had a suite and it was big enough and fairly comfortable.
i found the breakfast selection quite limited (especially for a 4-star hotel). several items were missing, like cheese and yogurt, disappointing. the room i had lacked seating, and i was told to wait in the lobby when i asked where to sit with my food.
