Very clean, very well kept. Lovely staff. Nice little touch to put the suitcases in our room after we left them until check in time. Room was cosy with high ceilings and a lovely balcony door. Good tv and channel selection. Fantastic location for us. 6 min walk from the bus to take you to and from the airport. (Bus 397).

Great location for visiting the popular sights. The room was quite clean but ridiculously HOT. Even turning off the heat, it was uncomfortable. The wifi was intermittent. The breakfast was very good and the staff was super helpful..
