helpful staff rooftop pool good variety
The staff helped quickly when i needed assistance. I found the rooftop pool area relaxing. It had nice views of the cathedral. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices. This was Really good.
The access caused problems. The last 40 meters involved hauling baggage over road cobbles. It made arrival and departure a bit challenging.
