The location of this hotel is perfect for sightseeing, with all the big sites in walking distance. Staff were pleasant, particularly the breakfast staff. The buffet breakfast was amazing, with a huge choice of fresh and delicious food, very nicely presented. However, our room was very dated with worn towels and drab decor. It seemed as though rooms on some floors had been updated, but our room on the fourth floor and not been touched in many years. Twin and double rooms are the same thing, as a double room just means two single beds pushed together. We were also very disappointed to see that the pool was to one side of the lobby, in full view of everyone entering and leaving the hotel, the street outside and the bar. Throughout our five night stay we only saw three people using it. We had chosen the hotel as it had an indoor pool but it just wasn't suitable for swimming.
