    This is a great small hotel in a very good location. Just five minutes drive to the old town. I got a beautiful big room with very high ceilings and huge windows overlooking a peaceful park - much nicer than staying in the noise around the royal...

    Staff was excellent, especially Alexandra. Room was large, bathroom small, shower small, very little sink room for amenities. Restaurant and bar are among the best - we spent too much time there.
