8.4/10 Very Good! (622 reviews)
Very good in terms of location and staff service. Just as an observation, there is no complete cleaning of the place during your stay, only a change of towels, but the rest of the service is very good.
Many thanks to the very attentive staff.

Too much hassle with parking as we can’t get back to the car if we forget or left something in our car. Very inconvenient.
