Great hotel at the end of a multi stay trip. The rooms are clean and quiet, the staff friendly and attentive. We found it good value, and the breakfast was excellent. We had a 4 night stay there and it was perfect for exploring the wider area but also being able to easily wander round the Old Town. Parking is conveniently nearby and free if you don’t mind being on the street

Positive experience! Would recommend.

Love the location and will absolutely come back. The restaurant (dinner) is excellent, very nice food and the view is stunning. The staff at the hotel is attentative and very nice. Breakfast is great. Comfortable bed. The only down side would be the pool, not very clean water. Probably to much people. Its better than not having a pool and the size is decent.
