Amazing hotel within walking distance to city
Amazing hotel in walking distance to city. Very comfortable rooms with amazing showers. We had a water view room that included a Nespresso machine and kettle. Breakfast in the morning was great and they have both a buffet style and menu. Overall great hotel and I would highly recommend.
