    The staff were extremely helpful, leant us chargers and brought new towels. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice.

    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...
