Pros:

Rooms spacious, bed comfortable, excellent location

Cons:

Advertised as air conditioned by booking.com. did not specify this was only in public areas and not in bedrooms. It was a hot night, and although we had a fan and the windows opened, this was not enough to cool the room temperature

Good stay. A bit expensive. And air con on the summer is a must.
Pros:

Location. Staff. Breakfast.

Cons:

No air con. It was really hot weather and though hotel gave us a fan it only blew hot air around the room. It was uncomfortably warm.
