We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the centre of everything. We loved the fact that we could easily walk to all the attractions and restaurants. The view from our room, overlooking the bridge and river, was breathtaking. The cleanliness of the hotel was exceptional, and the facilities provided everything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, especially during breakfast service. Speaking of breakfast, the choice and quality of food were excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Can't think of anything.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in a spacious room with a breathtaking view of the harbor bridge. The room was impeccably clean and well-presented. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants. The breakfast choices were plentiful and delicious. The hotel's central location made it easy for me to explore all the attractions in this city. The fact that the hotel is located above a lively bar did not disturb my sleep at all, thanks to the effective soundproofing of the windows.
