The hotel is absolutely amazing; it offers outstanding service and a prime location. The rooms are luxurious and spacious, providing a very comfortable bed for a great night's sleep. However, the dining options were somewhat limited. The facilities are top-notch, but the price could be a bit high for some visitors.
The hotel is a gem, offering a very comfortable big bed in the rooms and top-notch service. The location is ideal, close to the city center by bus, and even in the Bistro. However, dining, especially for those seeking traditional food, could be varied. The facilities are great with fantastic value for money.
