"The location was prime because you had a historic castle in front of you in walking distance and on the back side of the hotel you have a shopping mall, so modern and history all close by."

"Located in the most scenic location, this hotel has a marvellously solicitous staff; it's price is much more adequate for the wallet, the terrace, pool and restaurant most attractive as well."
