The service is excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. The hotel is well maintained and the kitchen goes to a lot of effort to provide a variety for the breakfast. It is not the same as a la cart quality food but at least we didn't eat the same food for four days. The street can be quite noisy though during the night. They kindly upgraded us when there was a cancellation.

5 stars all round! For a 3* rated property, there have better facilities than some 4 and 5* places where I have stayed. The staff are an asset to this property. Breakfast was fantastic. You can also organise breakfast earlier if you have an early morning excursion. I would not hesitate to recommend this property.
