the location was convenient inside the city walls it made exploring easy. the staff were friendly and helpful they gave us useful information about local attractions. i found the hotel to be very clean and modern. i really loved my stay here it was nice.
i booked a beautiful king room and found it smaller than expected. the bathroom had a shower over the bath with an aging rubber seal along the glass door. while showering, the glass kept falling inward, hitting my elbow it was quite inconvenient.
