Perfect location for exploring
The room was lovely, a little hot but soon solved by simply opening the window on to the picturesque square below. Breakfast offered a good choice, the staff were friendly and welcoming. Really nice place to stay.

This hotel is not only gorgeous and classic but the staff was incredible. They were so helpful with maps and walking directions. The big bonus was it was across from the train and buses so I didn't have to use a taxi. I like to walk and this was perfect. Room had an awesome view of the city.

Overpriced and tired
Badly trained staff and very tired amenities given the price: the room was so noisy from a neighbouring club, we hardly slept.
Very good location though.
