Great city centre location with parking just outside the front door. Friendly, professional and comfortable

James United Kingdom

Great location. Very comfortable. Highly recommend this place!

Kristine Brazil

Very comfortable room, larger in the room and bathroom than any other booking we’ve had in past 2 months. Very good breakfast, very accommodating Staff. The first shower the drain wasn’t working, Bernardo was excellent about having it fixed immediately, and kept us informed! Has an elevator. Wonderful location with an exceptional cafe kitty corner to the hotel, to die for pastries and good prices. We would definitely return!!

Joan Canada

Good location, good breakfast, excellent front desk staff.

Arthur United States of America
