Fantastic! They did an amazing job all around. The best part was that all of the staff was so very friendly and helpful. The rooms were great and well thought out. The shower was fantastic and one of the best we have encountered in Europe. We loved the U Cafe too. Definitely recommended. Oh, and it’s close to everything too.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, as we did no...
