The hotel offers an excellent location right in the city center, which made it convenient for accessing nearby bars and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had almost all the amenities I expected, though they felt a bit outdated. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the dining service was surprisingly slow, hurting the overall experience. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement in dining and some facilities.

The hotel had a lovely ambiance and was conveniently located right in the heart of the city, which made exploring so much easier. I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained, although they felt slightly outdated with the carpets. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help, yet the slow service during breakfast was a downside. Overall, it offers good value for money considering the location and cleanliness, but improvements can be made in dining service.
