Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms were nice, though a bit small for our family with a travel cot. Noise inside the hotel was disappointing, but despite that, it was quite pleasant overall. The view from the window wasn't great, though.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were modern, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the bathroom was a shocking disappointment, especially considering the price. Despite this, the warm temperature in the rooms didn't ruin our overall experience.
