Great hotel - super location far enough from the crowds but only a 15 minute walk to the square. Immaculately clean and good size rooms. Super breakfast as well with nice staff.

Bra, fräscht hotel som passar bra för de flesta, framförallt barnfamiljer. Tillhör väl de lite "dyrare" priserna i bar/resturang m.m och poolen är ofta ockuperad hela dagarna av barn. Så vill man ha en lugn upplevelse i ett poolområde är det fel hotell för dig. Gymmet är inte stort, men det mest nödvändiga finns för att klara av träningen. Bemötandet var bra och vänligt samt hjälpsamt.
I det stora hela ett bra hotell som rekommemderas!

Bra hotell som ligger centralt, man går till slottet på 10 minuter.
Bra utrymme framför hotellet när man beställer hämtning\lämning av taxi\Uber, finns även parkeringsgarage om man har hyrbil.
Enda negativa är att poolen (inkl bubbelpoolen) var för kalla och ACn på rummet fungerade dåligt.
Skulle absolut tänka mig bo här igen..

The property was very nice and clean. The staff was hit or miss. The biggest issue is the waterpark. When I made the reservation it appeared that it was included, but when I got to the hotel they charged extra.
