I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, nestled by the river and just a stone's throw away from two fascinating museums. The heart of the city is within a 10-minute walk, making it incredibly convenient. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, complete with a spacious bathroom and a relaxing bath. The breakfast, although only Continental, was a nice touch, with the option to upgrade to a full English spread. The service was top-notch, offering a warm welcome and efficient reception assistance. However, the dining experience and facilities fell slightly short of my expectations.
