Well positioned in a beautiful old building, close to some tourist attractions. Very good dinner, lunch selection limited but still nice, breakfast wasn't very fresh and selection could be better. The room was perfectly fine with a nice view

Nice and close to the airport. Check in was easy enough. I found what looked like blood on the pillow case of my bed and then what looked like coca cola down the side board. Didn't look like the cleaner had been particularly fussy with cleaning the room. However the food was superb fish was excellent.
