Nothing, no complaints at all.
The location of the hotel was excellent, as it was close to all the attractions of the city and just a short distance from the town center. The breakfast provided was great, with a wide variety of options available, including gluten-free bread. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our experience even better. this hotel provided great value for the price.
Nothing I didn't like to be fair.
We had the most enjoyable stay at this hotel. The charm and character of the hotel is evident throughout, especially in the spacious rooms and the lovely dining environment, with its high glazed ceiling and attractive decor. The breakfast served was fresh and delicious, and the staff were pleasant and well organized. The hotel's location was perfect, very near the shops and close to the theatre and music venue. the convenient parking made it easy for us to explore this city.
Nothing it is perfect.
