“The property's prime position places you at the heart of Ohrid's historic district, a short walk from key sights and local amenities. Its characterful, older architecture contributes a distinct charm, and the helpfulness of the staff was noted. While generally comfortable, guests considering the attic rooms should be aware of the sloped ceilings and the absence of an elevator.”
