Pros:

La localisation est parfaite pour tout visiter à pied, très belle hôtel! Les chambres sont spacieuses, il y a tout le nécessaire offert par l'hôtel( kit couture, peigne, coton etc). Le service est parfait

Cons:

Ce qui pourrait être amélioré mais reste très bien, ce sont les oeufs brouillés (pas vraiment des oeufs brouillés et de l'eau au fond dommage, ainsi que le bacon grillé qui n'en ai pas. Cependant il y a du saumon cuit et excellent tout les matins et le petit déjeuner est de qualité. il est copieux et très varié.

Cons:

It would be great to be able to get something to eat at say 9/9.30pm after a show. There are many great restaurants but if you are tired and travelling alone the ease of eating in the hotel restaurant or even room service is welcome.

Merkezi ve temiz bir otel
Pros:

Otelin yeri çok iyi, çocuk dostu bir otel, çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlü. Odamız temiz ve genişti. Fazlasıyla memnun kaldık, yeniden gelirsek yine aynı oteli tercih ederiz.

Cons:

Klima yeteri kadar ısıtmıyordu, 2 adet ısıtıcı gönderdiler. Kahvaltıda daha çok çeşit olabilir. 2 gün kaldık ancak 2 gün de aynı kahvaltı çıktı.
