Great stay at Queen Bouthique Hotel. It is in a perfect location between the old town and the jewish quater. All the staff were very helpful here at the front desk, at breakfast and the driver. Room was nice and spacious looking out on to the street. The use of the sauna is also free for guests, although you have to book your slot at the front desk. Would highly recommend!
