Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms are comfortable and clean, though the bathrooms are a bit small. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, but the dining options are limited. The facilities are good, but the Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost.
The hotel offers rooms with 2 spacious bedrooms featuring comfortable beds and very clean facilities, along with a handy kitchenette. The service provided helpful suggestions and went above and beyond by accommodating my request for an early check-in at 12 pm instead of the standard 2 pm. The location was ideally situated within a short walk to the city centre, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was not specified. Overall, the facilities were well-maintained and catered to my needs.
