“The property offers excellent, well-maintained rooms that represent strong value, including consistently available hot water. While its hilltop location provides city views, navigating the narrow, winding roads can be challenging, especially upon arrival. For those prioritizing spacious accommodations and helpful staff over immediate accessibility, this could be a worthwhile trade-off.”
