The hotel altogether was modern enough, very clean,staff were helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable, large and clean. There is no air conditioning or memory foam mattresses but they never advertised as such so it was expected, the bed was comfortable enough. The bar and the restaurant were something else, very good food ,not very expensive. The bar was amazing, they encased an old gothic church ruins under in the new building one of the most beautiful bars I've ever been to. Barman was the nicest man.
