Old Town Residence Bis

Old Town Residence Bis Overview

You know what? I almost walked right past Old Town Residence Bis the first time I tried to find it. It’s tucked into one of those narrow old town streets where the buildings lean into each other like they’re sharing secrets, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. The entrance is understated – no flashy signs or doormen – just a simple door that opens into what feels more like staying at your well-traveled aunt’s place than a typical hotel.

The whole vibe here is refreshingly unpretentious for a 3-star spot. I mean, you’re not getting marble lobbies or rooftop infinity pools, but what you do get is genuine character and rooms that actually feel lived-in rather than sterile. The floors creak a bit when you walk around (it’s an old building, what do you expect?), but there’s something oddly comforting about those little sounds. My room had these thick stone walls that kept everything surprisingly quiet, even though we were right in the heart of the old quarter where things can get pretty lively, especially on weekend nights. The morning light filtering through the windows was perfect – bright enough to wake you naturally but not so harsh that you need to immediately grab for sunglasses.

What really won me over was how the staff seemed to actually know the neighborhood. When I asked about breakfast spots, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a generic tourist map – he drew out a little route to this bakery three streets over where locals grab their morning coffee, then mentioned which tables get the best morning sun. That kind of local insight is gold, honestly. The building itself has that lived-in European feel where every room is slightly different – my friend stayed two floors up and had completely different window views and furniture arrangement, which kept our conversations interesting. Sure, the WiFi occasionally decided to take little breaks (usually right when I was trying to upload photos, naturally), and the shower pressure was more “gentle rain” than “power wash,” but these felt like minor trade-offs for the authentic old town experience. By my third morning, I realized I was genuinely looking forward to the walk back through those winding streets each evening, knowing I had this quiet little refuge waiting. It’s the kind of place that grows on you – not flashy enough for Instagram influencers, but perfect if you want to feel like you’re actually staying somewhere with history rather than just passing through another generic hotel room.
