"Check in was prompt. The room was as expected, clean with a pleasant view. Breakfast was lovely and the hotel is within walking distance of pretty much all the sights. My only issue was that late at night I was occasionally awakened by noise however subtle that I expect was coming from a nearby nightclub . Otherwise my stay went well. Staff are very helpful."
