Nice and newly renovated hotel from a historical building conveniently located near all centers of actions. The national theater is right across the street, the central market is just a few minutes walk. All things operated to western standards. Won’t recommend the onsite restaurant though, it was our only fine dinning experience in the city so no comparison to other similar options. The view is amazing but we enjoyed the food from central market way better.
