My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The location is superb, right on the river with breathtaking views and close to fantastic restaurants. The rooms are cozy and come with a lovely balcony to enjoy the surroundings. The service was exceptional, with assistance for early morning flights and fantastic tour recommendations. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in diversity. Overall, a great value for the money with top-notch facilities.
