Church of Holy Cross Exaltation

Beliggenheten til hotellet er helt upåklagelig, man kommer ut døra og befinner seg på det gamle bytorget. Vi benyttet oss av hotellets egen transport fra/til flyplassen. Trygt og enkelt. Vi ankom om kvelden og bilen kunne ikke kjøre inn i folkemengden på torget. En av hotellets ansatte møtte oss i bilen, hjalp med baggasje og viste vei til hotellet. Hotellet har en eldre stil, og det er delt opp på 2 ulike bygg. Vi fikk ikke rom i hoveddelen og måtte da gå ca 20meter til det andre bygget. Bygget vårt rom var i ble visstnok bygget på 15-tallet. Ingen heis der. Vi måtte gå 102 trappetrinn og gjennom 6 korridorer for å komme til rommet. Et lite obs for dem som kanskje ikke ønsker slikt. Rommet i seg selv var enestående. Entréen var nok 4 kvadratmeter, hoveddelen 25kvm og badet sikkert 12kvm. Interiøret var i samme stil som i resten av hotellet, taket må rett og slett oppleves. Madrassen i senga var av den harde sorten. Badet hadde blandt annet dobbel servant, badekar med dusjvegg og bidé. Minibaren var et lite kjøleskap som bråket noe forferdelig. La ei eske under for å løse det. Frokost var i hovedbygget. Egg varierte for hver dag vi var der (omelett, eggerøre, speilegg osv). Andre varmretter som dukket opp var couscous, stekt ris, pytt i panne, for å nevne noe. Ellers var det greit utvalg av pålegg, frokostblandinger, youghurt og brødvarer. 2 sorter juice, appelsin og grapefrukt. Det fantes en kaffemaskin. Kaffen fra denne falt ikke i smak hos oss.

Fint hotell, fine rom, gode senger, fint bad, rent, god beliggenhet, god service, bra frokost.

We originally booked this tripped before the pandemic and was supposed to travel in April 2020. That, for obvious reasons, didn't happen, and we got a coupon for the hotel that has been extended several times as the pandemic has been going on and on. The last due date was set to December 2022 and therefore we ended up booking our trip for July this year. My friend and I ended up booking three nights at the Aurea Legends. When we originally booked the hotel we thought it looked okey, and the main reason we chose Aurea Legends was where it was located. We arrived way too early, but the staff was very nice and still let us check in without any extra charges since the room was ready. We were really impressed by our room (standard) - it was much bigger than what we'd thought! There were to large single beds, a day bed, an arm chair, a big desk, extra seating to store luggage, two huge cabinets and a really big bathroom. Everything was clean and really nice - the standard is actually better than what the picture shows. A big plus that there were nice amenities in the bathroom (both hand wash, hand and body lotion, body wash, shampoo and condition) and a mini bar/fridge we could store our water in. The area is nice and quiet, even though it's really close to a lot of the main attractions in the city. We could walk everywhere and were stunned about how beautiful the city was. Would recommend anyone to stay here and would definitely book it again if we're going back!
