This hotel was a very lovely place to stay. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit and if a bit far the bus was round the corner. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The fridge was very well stocked and we even had a bottle of water which was replenished every day. I would highly recommend
