highly recommend, great standards and great value for money
Pros:

Although the hotel is a little dated, it was immaculate through out. The staff were excellent throughout the stay and really helpful when me and my friend needed assistance. I didn't eat at the hotel but the standards were superb and the bar at the top of the hotel gives great views. Also, you were right on the edge of the cultural quarter

Cons:

The pool does not get much sunshine, however to accept for this, they have created another terrace where you can get the sun all day that is a 20 second walk from the pool. possibly an opportunity to provide food and drink by the pool
