Beautiful location very central and easy to walk everythere but not jam-packed full of tourists like the cathedral just a short walk away. Very close to the train station but on this lovely plaza so doesn't seem that close when you're there. Beautiful hotel, very nice and helpful staff. Would love to come back when the pool is open - but was there in November!
