Luxurious Stay in Lovely Place

classic decorauthentic chairsconcierge staff
The room had a classic decor and was well stocked with essentials. Bathrobes and slippers were available, a lovely touch I liked. The lobby was inviting with authentic chairs. Concierge staff helped with my queries with a smile.
The water in the room cost €6, I felt that was very expensive. I think complimentary water should be available in a hotel such as this.
