Stayed 1 night

We had a room facing the inner courtyard which was very nice and quiet. We were part of a wedding party and the hotel provided adjacent rooms for our family and the same for our in law’s family. This made it easy for everyone to attend different events like rehearsals and photo taking. The wedding venue on the second floor was excellent with enough space for about 90 people. The hotel staff provided a lot of support in addition to our own arrangements. The hotel is on a quiet street off the main avenue with both valet and public parking right across the hotel. Lots of coffee shops, restaurants and shopping within 15 min walk on the main avenue. The neighbourhood is quite kids friendly and we felt safe strolling along early in the morning and late at night.
