8.6/10

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is superb, very close to the historical city center and in a nice area. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a bathroom with a tub. The service was impeccable, and the gourmet salads at the dining area were a real treat. However, the facilities could use some improvement, and the price was a bit high for the value received.
