Exquisite Hotel Experience

extensive menu helpful staff
The room was spacious with very clean design. I enjoyed a welcome gift of wine and water at check in. Breakfast offered an extensive menu including items cooked to order. The staff at reception was very helpful.
The light in the bathroom is not optimal. There is nowhere else in the room to use for make up. Adding an electric wall light at the mirror would resolve this.
Location

The hotel is located within walking distance to shopping streets and the river. Its entrance is neutral on a narrow street. This positions the hotel conveniently to visit main attractions and local amenities.
