I had a decent stay at the hotel. The location was quite nice, with a fantastic view, but it was a bit of a walk to get to the main churches. The room I stayed in was small but clean, although I could hear my neighbors quite clearly. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the dining options, while generous, could use improvement. Overall, it was reasonable for the price, but the noise levels could be disruptive.

While the dining options were generous, I found the vegetable dishes to be overcooked, and it seemed a bit overpriced for a solo traveler. There are definitely better choices nearby.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had a breathtaking view of the mountains, and I felt that the price was a good deal for what I received. The service was mostly friendly, but I did encounter one staff member who was less inviting.

I was really impressed with my room, which offered a beautiful view of the mountains and the Epiphany processional. It's worth noting that it was in the basement and had no windows, but the hot water was reliable and it felt like a good value for the price.

The location was a tad further from the churches than I expected but close enough to shops and restaurants. It was a short and easy walk to the southern group of churches, which worked out well for me.

Breakfast could have been better; it was pretty limited, with just a spoonful of marmalade. However, they did serve fresh juice and coffee, which I appreciated.

5.4/10

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location is quite decent, making it easy to explore nearby churches without a guide, plus the facilities are straightforward and functional. However, the room was quite a letdown with the lack of windows and needed a working bathroom, and the early morning noise definitely affected my sleep. Overall, it’s not ideal, but it has potential.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and spacious rooms with breathtaking views from the balcony. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the dining options left something to be desired, and while the location was relaxing, it might be too far for those wanting to be in the downtown action. Overall, it was a good value for money despite the dining shortcomings.
