Parking note. Problematic — Hotel has no on-site parking; guests must use public lot 4-5 blocks away with documented difficulties exiting due to license plate recognition failures and inconsistent pricing (€3-€10 per day).

What the trend suggests
Emerging issue2026-06 – 2026-0775% confidence
Air conditioning and climate control complaints appear with increasing frequency in recent months (2026-Q2 and 2026-Q3), with guests reporting inability to cool rooms below 21°C and lack of fans. This contrasts sharply with earlier periods (2017–2025) where AC was praised as functional and controllable. The emergence of multiple AC-related 1–2★ reviews in 2026-Q2 ('air conditioning in my room was not working properly', 'air conditioner cannot cool room below 21°') suggests a potential system degradation or maintenance issue distinct from the hotel's earlier operational standard.
Emerging issue2026-06 – 2026-0772% confidence
WiFi connectivity complaints emerge in 2026-Q2, with at least one 1★ review citing persistent WiFi drops ('WiFi won't stay connected from room... kept dropping intermittently'). This is notably absent from earlier review snippets spanning 2017–2025, where internet reliability was either praised or unmentioned. The sudden appearance of this technical complaint in recent months may indicate infrastructure strain or degradation.

What guests report
View
Rooms facing Pilies Street (main Old Town street) offer best views; rooms with windows overlooking internal courtyards or wells have poor/limited views; top-floor attic rooms have skylight windows but restricted views.
Bed & mattress
Beds are exceptionally comfortable and high-quality with firm mattresses; pillows are soft and flat (some guests found them non-ergonomic).
Bathroom & water
Modern bathrooms with excellent water pressure, consistent hot water, and Italian walk-in showers; heated bathroom floors are a standout feature; however glass walls lack privacy.
Wi-Fi
WiFi frequently drops and disconnects intermittently despite premium pricing; hotel staff claim technical issues cannot be resolved.
Breakfast
High-quality, fresh ingredients with excellent variety including prosecco, cooked items, cold meats, cheeses, baked goods; staff replenish until 10:00 AM; however quality has declined from earlier years and some items served cold.
AC / heating
Air conditioning is inconsistent—upper floors overheat, lower floors are cold; minimum temperature capped at 21°C with no fans provided; controls are complex and require instruction card.

Local knowledge
Request a room away from the main reception/lobby area to avoid street noise, light bleeding from reception, and sounds of other guests in corridors.
Book a business or superior room rather than a standard room—they are significantly larger and worth the upgrade despite the higher price.
Bring or ask for blackout curtains; standard curtains do not fully block external light or motion-activated bathroom light bleeds.
