Very nice hotel with great location
Pros:

Location was amazing. Right near park with museum and ruins. Staff were amazing too. Room was quite large and had everything we needed. Liked the detailed decorations and the Scandinavian vibe. Bed was large and comfy.

Cons:

Wasn't a huge fan of the mini bar setup. Like to be able to buy my own things instead, but I imagine others find it convenient.

Pros:

Great Location, clean throughout, lovely decor and friendly staff.

Cons:

Noise. I think if we ever were to stay again we would request a different room. Our room was on the level just as you come through reception and we were disturbed every time anyone arrived or left or had a query. Then awoke at around 5am with what may have been kitchen staff (not sure, but as we were also very close to the kitchen it could well have been) we could have requested a room change but chose to buy ear plugs for the second night. I’m sure if we’d have been put in a different room there would have been no issues. I think, unfortunately, we were unlucky in the room allocation.
