Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. One comment: It's quite dark in the room, especially with little daylight outside...

Grandi by Center Hotels
This is a nice hotel in a good location, a bit quieter location, but still within 15 min walk to many attractions shops and restaurants. I wouldn't call it a luxury hotel but it is very nice, professional and clean with friendly staff. I would recommend.
