Testimonials
"Excellent stay, exceptional staff and charming location. First, I'd like to say the staff were exceptionally helpful, kind, and really went above and beyond for us. The hotel is perfectly positioned, both for the historic centre and other parts of the city. It's a short walk from a host of restaurants and bars in the historic centre, which is absolutely beautiful. Breakfast in the breakfast room was splendid. Our spacious room was on the second floor, accessible by stairs or lift. Very comfortable bed and a good-sized room — what more could you ask for? Everything was great."
