The location was fantastic, i could walk to all major sites with ease. the square just outside had so many bars, and restaurants, it was awesome! my bedroom was spacious. The shower was great and the hairdryer was powerful. breakfast was a self service, with lots of choice and a relaxed vibe!

The rooms can be noisy. I could hear everything around me. the doors don't block sound well. i hope they improve the soundproofing soon!
