The hotel offers lovely rooms with a small kitchenette, perfect for a quick breakfast, that were ready for an early check-in at 11 am. The service was fantastic with staff going the extra mile, although a bit rushed at times. The location is great for enjoying breakfast and amenities but could be noisy at night. The dining experience was generally good, with engaging staff, despite some room for improvement in the seasoning of dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and convenient facilities.

The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs, within walking distance of key attractions and public transport, but the room was on the small side and quite dark, while facing noisy surroundings. The service was exceptional, especially being helpful with our bags during early arrival and late departure. The dining experience was impressive, offering a mix of buffet and a la carte options in a cozy setting.

The room, although small, provided all essentials like a hairdryer, ironing board, and TV. However, it was dark and noisy due to its location facing a nightclub across the street.
