10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel in good location for walking to sights. Clean,comfy bed, Nespresso coffee machine in room. Deluxe double room was large and had A/C which we didn’t need. (saw a regular double and it looked very small). Nice toiletries. Shower was a combo with bath tub and a deep step in. Large screen TV with what seemed to be satellite TV. Folks in reception very nice and helpful. Very close to train station. Nice hotel.
