Property was adequate. Stairs were a huge negative. 2 steep staircases to get to main level of property. No lifts at all. Once inside the room, another steep staircase from main level up to bedroom. Room layout is poor. Very small loveseat stuck against wall, makes watching tv difficult. Overall poor design. Staff was friendly, included breakfast was fair, nothing special. Check out at 11AM seems rigid for this type of property seems unfriendly. When I asked for extension I was brushed off with a quick no, although was offered the opportunity to hang out in common area. I can’t recommend. Price is high for a somewhat mediocre accommodation. Sorry.

Beautiful property! Don't be mislead by some of the surrounding buildings that are a bit of disrepair. You walk through the doors into a beautiful, modern guest house. Racquel, the manager greeted us and gave us a tour of the public area (living room, dining room, pool area). They even have an "Honesty Bar" where guests can help themselves to wine and mark down what they have. The place is immaculate Walking distance to many restuarants and attractions. Highly reccommend!!

A beautiful oasis! The Guesthouse may be small, but it satisfies your every need in a very peaceful setting. The rooms are nicely appointed and the grounds are amazing-especially the pool backed by the city walls! The included breakfast was copious and delicious. The guesthouse is highly recommended!

An amazing stay with really tentative staff. A couple of mishaps with the hotel which were dealt with efficiently by staff. Great location with the castle, restaurants and parking nearby. Special mention to Debora who was knowledgable about the location and even recommended some restaurants which were great!

What a lovely property. We visited in January and although it was too cold for the pool, we sat on the lawn chairs at night to see the stars. The room was lovely and clean and the staff was fantastic. This place is a real gem!
