9.4/10 Exceptional! (320 reviews)
It was a great stay, location is a bit out of the way but in a very nice quieter area of the city, was very happy with our room aside from the fact the “windows” were beside a stack of machines so sounded like an airplane going off, they did offer to change rooms but we stayed as the room we had was very modern and bright. Breakfast included for one morning was average, overall recommend staying here and the hotel itself is so quiet.

Palace grounds closed to visitors due to New Years holidays. Visited the park outside only.

Get there by nine to get one of the limited tickets to go inside the palace, but you can always walk the grounds for free.
