Fantastic location. Elevator was broken the first day. Had to use stairs up and down to 4 floors. Other than that nice convenient place. Restaurant was pretty good.

The hotel was fantastic. The only thing was it was hot. Turned the heat off and left the window open at night. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean very clean. Beautiful location. I would recommend a street view.

Clean room but very very old hotel. Bad isolation, old windows, you can hear all the noise from outside. The breakfast was good but nothing fancy and not so much to choose from. Good coffee. Too expensive for what it offers.
