The hotel provided a transfer from the airport to the hotel, that was convenient. The hotel offered coffee and pastries throughout the day and sparkling wine after 6 PM. I enjoyed these complimentary amenities.
The historic location makes the hotel not easy to access. It was difficult to get a ride back to the hotel after a day of sightseeing.
