I was delighted with the bright and airy rooms, thankful for the larger bathroom, and enjoyed the much better view. The friendly service staff made my stay pleasant, and the location, though slightly removed from downtown, offered a lovely walk with added sightseeing. The dining experience was satisfactory, with fresh options available. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had excellent air conditioning, which was essential given the hot weather, but they were a bit dated. The location, just a lovely 10-minute walk from the center, was convenient, but the distance from the parking lot was a small inconvenience.
My stay at this hotel was lovely. The rooms were cozy with a comfortable bed, and the location was convenient, not far from the center with a tram stop nearby. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and the breakfast was good. However, the room size was slightly smaller than expected.
