A Romantic Retreat!

beautiful facadecomfortable bednoisy street
The hotel has a beautiful facade and an excellent lobby. The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was fresh with freshly squeezed orange juice, a rare treat. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable!!!
My room was above ground floor on a noisy side street. It was impossible to sleep in that room. Next time I might ask for a quieter room on the upper floors.

The location is superb. The hotel is near the National Theatre and the Royal Palace. I appreciated the library on the main floor. It featured comfortable leather chairs and many books..
The restaurant closed early at 5 PM without notice. Room service ended at 10 PM. There was no way to get food if I arrived late. I found steps everywhere with no assistance for heavy bags.
