This is an older property and the rooms are a good size. There is free overnight parking from 7pm to 8am on the streets across from the hotel, 1min walk. The hotel lighting was generally dim and the room had bright white lights.

Clean rooms and bathroom. Friendly staff. Nice rooftop swimming pool and a small but effective gym. Delicious breakfast with a variety of hot and cold options and choice of juices including freshly pressed. Small issue. Asked for packed breakfast for last day, stating we are vegetarian and need lactose free milk. The breakfast box provided had cheese and meat in croissant and yoghurt, fruit and cookies. So pretty much had the fruit for last breakfast. Maybe some misunderstanding.
