8.4/10

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, surrounded by landscaped gardens and a welcoming swimming pool. The room I stayed in, the Unesco room, had truly authentic and old-fashioned furniture that added to the charm. The only downside was the noise coming from the streetfront at times.

The hotel is perfectly located on the edge of the UNESCO area, which makes for a wonderful experience. The rooms, especially the Unesco room with its authentic and old furnishings, are well presented. The service from the attentive and warm staff was exceptional, going above and beyond by increasing the device limit for our convenience. The location couldn't be better, offering easy access to the town center and a refreshing pool. The dining experience, though simple, was decent with a lovely view and fried wild rice. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
