Wonderful Stay in the Heart of It All!!!

convenient locationdivine croissantawesome view
I had a lovely experience. The location was convenient. I could walk to many key attractions. The divine chocolate croissant at breakfast was a real treat. The rooftop view was awesome, especially as the sun went down. It was a real highlight of my evenings.
The thin mattress was a bit of a downer.

The rooftop terrace provided lovely views. The hotel is in an old building, but I found the silent disco party up there on Friday night so much fun! It gave an intimate, unique atmosphere.
