For a 4 star hotel everything was perfectly fine, I liked to be here. The breakfast was generous, savoury with good coffee and fruit, for instance. There's nothing too much trouble, had a real good stay for such a welcoming and warm time.

The location was very quiet and room was well-equipped, I loved super helpful staff. They made my stay quite comfortable! Fairly large suite and super comfortable bed. Found in an pedestrian part of the town. Places like a byzantine basilica museum were not too far from here too.
