the staff at reception were super friendly and helpful. luca really stood out, he was so cute. the outdoor garden restaurant was a nice touch, we loved that we could store our luggage after checking out to explore a bit more.
i was a bit disappointed with the balcony, it overlooked the river, but it wasn't very clean. the wood and railing seemed a bit worn. the room had a strange smell. i think it smelled like dog wee, i am not sure what it was though
