Amazing room, very classic but with all the comodities of modern life, the WI-FI was fast. The size of the room was really good, and the bathroom was spacious, the same size of many rooms I've been. It did come with a bottle of wine and some confort foods as amenities. The breakfast was amazing, it was a real meal. The building is classic, and was renewed.

Everything about this hotel exceeds expectations.
