“In my opinion, this guest house's prime location in the heart of the Old Town is a double-edged sword, placing you steps from the cathedral but also amidst the lively-and sometimes noisy-nightlife. The dedicated staff seems genuinely invested in ensuring a smooth stay, going above and beyond to assist guests. Though some may find the late-night revelry disruptive, the central location and personalized service are undeniable assets.”
