The rooftop and terrace off the lobby were great for relaxing with a drink after sightseeing all day. location was perfect (lots of food and shopping options within a few mins walk) and parking was very close. The staff is what set this property apart, they were fantastic and very accommodating.

Paul United States of America

Beautiful location. Wonderful.service. The suite was lovely and spacious. Would come back here in a heartbeat

Diana United States of America

We stayed 5 nights and the location was perfection! You can literally walk anywhere from here and we did :o). The hotel staff could not have been nicer. Our room has a big private balcony that let us look out on the city below and we loved it. The gym was small but did the trick. We did not dine in the hotel because it was fully booked for the night we wanted, but they had a bar with great views and a lovely atmosphere. Great hotel. Book it.
