Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with stylish furniture and a king-size bed, creating a classy atmosphere. However, the view from the room could have been better. The service was exceptional, with a very friendly duty manager always ready to assist. The location was perfect, being right in the city center with easy access to all shops and restaurants. The dining experience was average with only cottage cheese available. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor downsides.
