Amazing staff. The lovely structures in the hotel courtyard such as a small lake with a bridge, very cute animal statues and a small children's exploration centre as well as a seating area with round tables and benches for older family members will be interesting for a holiday with children. Also, I was surprised by the location - close to the city centre with all its amazing shops and art galleries.
