“This hotel strikes me as thoughtfully composed, from its well-appointed quiet rooms to the super comfortable beds; it's a historical building with character. I appreciate the little fridge, proper milk and the quick breakfast option, but note that breakfast isn't included so you'll have to manage your time. A very good value, specially considering the great location.”
