amazing stay!

comfortable bed central access lovely breakfast
the room was super clean and stylish! the bed was one of the most comfortable i have ever slept in! i found the staff helpful and breakfast was also lovely, with central access to landmarks, a huge bonus.
i found that the hotel is on a pedestrian-only street, and flanked by tourist bars, that were noisy at night.
