the location was great. it was easy to walk to many places i wanted to see. the room had a nespresso coffee maker (i used it every morning). the staff were friendly and helpful with directions.

the room i had was in a separate building. this meant i had to go outside to reach reception. there was no elevator (i was on the third floor). the view from the balcony faced an unmaintained building.

My room included a large breakfast selection. The location was near major attractions. I had a gorgeous bathroom in room. The lobby had a chic design.

I thought the room in the pictures look larger. I found no shower, there was only a bathtub. I had to hold the faucet throughout the shower.

The location was good I find. The room was very clean and it had calm decor. Staff was attentive to your needs and kind to all guests.

The entry system its like a nightmare. You have to download the app. The stairs were steep and I had to train before getting to the top floor. It was an exercise.
