Reviews
It's a five-star hotel in the city center, with a large lobby on the first floor. The hotel is relatively old, and while the facilities are a bit dated, the toiletries are of a fairly high standard. Breakfast is included, and it's quite plentiful. However, the window in my room wasn't locked properly, and it let in drafts all night…
Sanitation: Good
Facilities: Good
I stayed 3 times and was very satisfied
