This is a relatively new "designer" hotel near the palace. It is in a lively neighborhood, but not overrun with tourists--yet it is an easy walk to the tourist area on the harbor. It has an amazing breakfast (included in the room price), and a full service gym that some locals patronize. While the rooms are extremely stylish, they are not well designed from a practical viewpoint. There is almost no storage, forcing one to live out of suitcases. The lighting system in the room is extremely complex to operate, but no instructions are provided. While the hotel staff were friendly and responsive, no luggage stands were provided until requested, and for one of our two stays, no waste container was provided except in the bathroom. The bathroom was also quite small with little space to put toiletries. The hotel has a ventilation system, but no real air conditioning--and very limited ability to adjust room temperature.
