great location included breakfast fresh fruit noisy room small bathroom unclean shower head
The location was PERFECT. I walked easily to all the major sites. The included breakfast had SO much variety. I especially loved the fresh fruit and local jams.
My room was right above the kitchen. It was VERY noisy early in the morning. The bathroom was quite small. The shower head needed a good cleaning. The water sprayed in all directions.

the staff was very friendly and helpful of several nights.
The room i had was quite noisy. street noise was noticeable until late at night (around 3:30 in the morning). also, i found that the en suite needed some work. It felt dated and not as clean as i would have liked it to be. (it's a shame because the rest of the place was lovely!).
