The staff gave a warm welcome. They provided comfortable beds. I enjoyed the breakfast with its great terrace. Free water and fresh fruit were always available. The bar service was efficient. I especially appreciated the central location that allowed me to explore many sites.
The minibar was only brought after I mentioned it and threatened to talk to the manager. It wasn't readily available like in most hotels.
