Excellent value and a great staff!
Pros:

Close to everything! The staff were super helpful, three restaurants on the property that is small and quaint in the middle of the old city. Complimentary great breakfast, and the rooftop restaurant was beautiful and excellent food. Right on the tram so easy access to the entire city. Major attractions within walking distance.

Cons:

Small pool and the spa amenities were worthless.

Pros:

Posizione e colazione, anche se carente di dolci europei: la posizione è ottima ma la strada è rumorosa. Nella camera manca una cassettiera
