I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious and came with a big bathroom, which was a great bonus. The service was impeccable, with a laundry service available and helpful assistance with tours and tickets. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet area with the added benefit of a second rear garden.
