“In my opinion, the themed rooms definitely make this property stand out, especially with some rooms offering private whirlpools. It's a family-run place that's been around for over 50 years and is near St. Stephen's Cathedral. While some past experiences appear inconsistent, the hotel's distinctive personality is worth noting.”
