The hotel was great, room clean, staff very kind and polite, always trying to help us. The breakfast was delicious with an excellent variety of hot and cold food. The spa was a bonus after a day of seeing the sites in the city to help us relax. The terrace offers a great view of the city and the sunset, is a very large space to sit and relax.
