Located right in the city center and walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. No air conditioning, though. The windows are open for air flow so it can get a little bit noisy. The bed is nice and firm. The pillows were a little floppy for me. Very nice breakfast spread, sorry my son ate all the strawberries.
