The location was very nice. I could easily walk to many museums. the drawing-room was so pretty with comfortable seating and a calm atmosphere. staff quickly helped with our luggage and delivered some tea to us in the drawing-room when we arrived early. the breakfast each morning included a good selection of hot and cold items.
the elevator was a bit small! and only one was available.
