A beautiful hotel in a great location very close to the Old Town. The room was a good size, the staff were welcoming and very helpful and the breakfast was excellent. It was so easy to get around from the hotel. The hotel arranged a car to pick me up from the airport and a return transfer. I would definitely stay again.

What could be improved: I loved everything about this hotel.
