10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is very well located in the centre of town where you can walk everywhere. Lots of restaurants and sights close by. The hotel staff was very helpful and kind. There is a taxi line right close by, except they were not available on a rainy day :(. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The rooms large, clean and very cool decorated."
