Nice hotel in the center of the old town. The room was very spacious and in very good shape. The breakfast was located in another hotel and generally ok, but not amazing. Overall I would recommend this hotel. If you are a breakfast person, maybe skip the hotel breakfast and opt for one of the many cafes in the old town.
