I visited this hotel twice before and every time I make sure it's the best choice. This time I travelled with my daughter of 6 years and my sister. We were really happy to spend 9 days in Old Palace. everything was exellent - room was big and cozy in the same time and always clean. Restaurant surprised us with big number of dishes different every day and very tasty. But the most important thing is stuff. All they are very friendly, always ready to help.
