There are a number of interesting smaller museums within reach, as well as a wide range of restaurants and shops. The hotel is charming, certainly not five star, and yet I have chosen it for many stays because the entire experience is so satisfying.
Totally agree - I'd always prefer this place (and a few others of its ilk) to one of the grand palace hotels which are run by big chains and seem rather impersonal.
