I liked this hotel. It's a little bit far from the old town, maybe 1.5kms but still convenient. Hotel is lovely and clean and the service was great. Easy to get to by taxi or Uber. Hotel feels safe. There was a terror alert in the city on NY so being a little further away was quite comforting. Breakfast was also very good.

Nice variety in the breakfast buffet. Good parking at the hotel. But a lot of noise of children running in the rooms until 23u30. The room was too warm. Opening the window was not an option because of close to the street with a lot of traffic.
