Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were clean and spacious with a very nice terrace, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The service was top-notch, with room service and housekeeping ensuring everything was perfect. The location was superb, very close to all the main attractions, making it convenient to explore the city. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had an amazing time at this hotel! The room was spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a lovely terrace, and it was cleaned every day. The service was top-notch, offering room service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping. The location was perfect, right in the city center, and the dining experience, especially the traditional local cakes, was a delight. The facilities were excellent, making my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious and clean rooms, a lovely terrace, and an incredibly comfortable bed. However, the noise from outside was a bit bothersome at times. The location was superb, with easy access to all the main attractions and tram stops, making it very convenient for exploring the city.
