I fell in love with the Crowne Plaza Old City. As soon as you open the doors, you're drawn in by the charm of the place: a building steeped in history, a majestic lobby... you really feel like you're stepping back in time, without ever giving up modern comforts. The location is ideal, right in the heart of the old town and opposite the tramway. A superb 5* address, full of character, at an unbeatable price - a nugget not to be missed.
