The location proved amazing. It stood right in the city center, conveniently next to the theatre. Breakfast offered amazing choice. We selected from fruit, cereals, pastries, and juices. Fresh tea and coffee. a very varied choice of cooked breakfast was served.

THE room was amazing and quite large! The bed felt excellent and provided great comfort. The central location proved VERY convenient. It was my second stay and definitely won't be the last.
THERE is no bar available and no room service either. Reception is not open 24/7, a bit inconvenient. I found this slightly disappointing , although I UNDERSTAND the reason behind it.
