Dated soulless hotel good location beware parking
Not a 5 star...but a good 3 star.
Location great for walking Old Town and restarunts and shops.
12 parking spaces for a very large hotel...parking is a nightmare.
Reception and bar service good. But no atmospere in restaraunt or bar.
Rooftop with pool only which closes at 1800. Stunning views but no bar or restaruant....crazy!

You are right behind the city center! Just 10 mins walk and you experience all restaurants and shopping. It is a beautiful historic hotel w a delicious breakfast. The rooftop pool is the prefect way to relax after a long day of sightseeing.

We have stayed here many times over many years, coming to or going from intense professional projects. It is always an oasis of thoughtfulness and kindness to all of the many different people who pass through its doors.
The facilities are great; the staff is greater.
