The location was excellent. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast offered many options (I really enjoyed the fresh pastries).
The television in my room had no signal. It was never fixed . The bathroom looked somewhat dated. There was limited counter space around the sink (, made it difficult to place toiletries).

excellent locationtourist attractionimmaculate cleanliness
The hotel is located very close to the main tourist area. Restaurants and tourist attractions are within easy walking distance. The hotel room itself was really clean. The whole hotel was always perfectly clean.
I asked reception to call me a taxi to the airport but it cost 50% more than the official airport taxi. I know this trick is used by other hotels. This ruins the impression of an otherwise good hotel.
