I had a fantastic stay at Boutique Hotel The Craftsmen! The location is perfect, just a short stroll from major attractions but still tucked away in a quiet area. The room was impeccably clean and had such creative decor that made it feel unique. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. My only small gripe would be that the hotel layout included some stairs which might be tricky for those needing better accessibility.
