Rough Guide
"Set in a restored nineteenth-century building that contains part of the old city wall, rooms here, though small, have all modern comforts."
Lonely Planet
"This cluster of 14th-century buildings in the heart of the Old Town has been lovingly, carefully refitted into one of the city's finest hotels - if you like a sense of the past and don't mind stairs."
i
To avoid stairs, get a room on the 1st floor or in the separate annex out back (which holds just three rooms).
