"This boutique hotel is truly a hidden jewel in the heart of the city. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional — attentive, kind, and genuinely thoughtful. The hotel is impeccably clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The food was outstanding, easily one of the highlights of our stay. Despite being centrally located, the ambiance is peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect escape from the city’s energy. A rare find that balances luxury, comfort, and tranquility...
