8/10 Good
"The decor and atmosphere is absolutely divine - the only downside was with the parking, which is really tricky to get to especially as you first arrive and want to drop off the luggage. The location is perfect for sightseeing and some of the rooms have a direct view on the gorgeous marina. Definitely a place to go back to! "
