A great location for site seeing with restaurants and shops nearby
Pros:

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Cons:

As with all hotel rooms, it was too hot. Also, for some strange reason the sofa bed had been made up reducing access to the window, curtains and radiator.
