8.6/10 Excellent! (301 reviews)
Right near the heart of old town and walking distance from the tourist sites. We enjoyed the modern design as well. Was a bit noisy at night, but the ear plugs provided were helpful.

"The breakfast options each morning were delicious. Highly recommend enjoying the on site Metro restaurant as well. I did not like the shower set up. The large step up into the shower and subsequent large step down were very dangerous. On a minor note, the pillows were extremely uncomfortable."
