As a general guide, a central district keeps walking distances and transport time short, while quieter areas further out usually offer more room for the same nightly rate. Each property in this list shows its address and map position, so you can judge how close it sits to the places you plan to visit.
Facilities shown on each property page come straight from the supplier data the hotel maintains, covering areas such as dining, pools, parking, wifi and family provision. Because opening hours and seasonal closures vary, check the facility notes on the property page and confirm anything time sensitive with the hotel before you travel.
Cancellation terms are set by each hotel and each individual rate, so they differ from room to room rather than across the whole list. The exact terms for the rate you pick are shown on the room before you confirm, along with the full price. Read that panel first if flexible dates matter to you.
