    Breakfast was exceptional. Have never seen so many choices. Could have been a little faster or had a pot out with coffee however. Good location within walking distance of many shops and transport options.

    The room was tidy and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. Many options at breakfast. Good location too. I had asked for a quiet room (overlooking the yard rather than the street) and my request was met

    The breakfast was fantastic! the only thing i didn´t like was the watery coffee but it is a personal taste (I prefer coffee machines of Italian style with cappuccino available). Anyway the choice of cold and hot meals was exceptionally wide...
