“Spacious standard room in very well located hotel. Great restaurant.”
Spacious (28 m2 with 2 double beds and a kitchenette), very clean standard apartment in a well located hotel on the Esplanade. Easy parking (Can 15 per day) Lovely staff, very friendly people at reception. Fabulous restaurant (the Trio) attached to it, very worthwhile dining there! As the weather was wet, cold, basically foul, we treated ourselves to dinner there twice and had a great culinary experience both times. Great staff careful with food allergies, which was a must.
