The breakfast was GREAT (i especially loved the pastries!). I found the staff to be very accommodating. They even allowed early check-in. The room was SUPER very comfy and tidy to stay in. I also appreciated that it was fairly central for getting around the city. WHAT a stay!

The water cost was a bit much. I paid four euros for a small bottle.
