Clean , comfortable , spacious rooms and excellent service . Location is in a quite residential area , far from most tourist attractions . Even the closest bus / train stations are a bit far . Though they do have a shuttle to one of the stations . Breakfast could be better - may be it was to do with we being vegetarian.
