Nice place costly food
Hotel was good and nice place. But food was very high priced for what we received at breakfast would recommend going outside the hotel for food and drink.

10/10 Exceptional

Great property, in a very central walkable location. The room was very comfortable and the hotel is very nice. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was really good. It worked well for my family. My only caution is the shower is frosted glass, NO privacy, same with the door to the toilet. It worked ok for my family but if you are traveling with someone you are not very close with I would look for another option.
