colonial styleexcellent serviceconvenient location

The room was decorated beautifully in colonial style. The reception, restaurant, and bellboy services were all excellent. The hotel's location within the fortress is very convenient, providing easy access to historic locations, shops, and cafés. I found this very helpful.

The hotel does not have a license to sell alcohol.
