Great stay, booked again already (direct).
First time booking this hotel and was quite last minute. The reception staff were excellent on arrival. They are professional yet relaxed.
The hotel is lovely. Boutique 5* feeling around the whole place.
Location is excellent for central. Far enough away from the bustle that it feels chilled but 10 minute walk to the main areas tourists want to visit.
