Good to know
There is no breakfast. The rooms have a fan; air conditioning is not listed, which is worth weighing up if you go in July or August. Check-in is from 14:00 to 00:00 and you must tell the hotel what time you will arrive. Check-out is until 11:00. As it is in the historic centre, if you are driving, ask the hotel how to get there.
