9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (1003)
"Великолепный сервис, уникальная локация. Мы повсюду гуляли пешком по центру и это очень удобно, когда главные исторические достопримечательности в минутах хотьбы. В шаге - рестораны и кафе. За завтраки - отдельное спасибо! Самые чудесные завтраки которые можно представить! Все кругом чисто и аккуратно. Но в комнатах было бы хорошо освежить ремонт, и тогда был бы рай 😁 А в целом мы остались очень довольны. И в следующий раз остановимся именно в этой гостинице. "
