10/10 Exceptional

Great variety of options at breakfast, something for everyone including any intolerances. Service was great in the bar and at breakfast - staff were very friendly and accommodating to our 3 year old. The room was good - decor fits the building - it's an older palace so don't expect modern room interiors, however the bathroom have been completely

This hotel caters to bus tours… it’s an older crowd and rooms a bit dated. We were put in the basement due to a large tour. Food and drinks were good but overall inside sleepy.
