Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-23

Guests praise the historic palace location, stunning harbor views, and quiet double-glazed windows. Hosts are helpful with luggage. The main drawback is the lack of an elevator, requiring climbing 3-4 flights of stairs, which is difficult for seniors or those with heavy bags.
