Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers stunning views, close proximity to the bar area, and a homely atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and provide great views, although they are cozier than what I'm used to back home. The service is top-notch, and the location is perfect for relaxation and easy access to the City Centre. The dining experience offers a good variety, but some dishes tend to lack seasoning. The facilities are well-kept and add to the overall experience.
The hotel offers deluxe and comfortable rooms, although some face a street wall. The service is commendable, and the location is perfect for a peaceful stay away from the busy city center. The dining experience is exceptional, and the facilities are well-maintained.
