Pros:

Very nice hotel in the middle of the old city.
I There is no justification for the high price. The breakfast was really minimal. There were a total of 3 croissants in the buffet. When they ran out, there was no refill... and so on for the rest.. For 270 euros per night I expected a little more generosity.

Cons:

Poor cleanliness standards
