"Great location. Free parking is a super plus inside the city. Great breakfast buffet and friendly staff. Perfect place to stay!"

Burgus Tribute & Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff, without fail, were absolutely lovely. The property was spotlessly clean and the location was perfect (within easy walking distance of all attractions). It was one of the nicest small hotels I have stayed in, anywhere in the world. We were on holiday to celebrate a major anniversary and the staff gave us a charming surprise. I would totally recommend the hotel."
