The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Chris who went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with plenty of dining options nearby. While the dining experience was not the best, the facilities made up for it with their quality and maintenance.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with my family. The rooms were well-equipped, clean, and inviting, fitted to a high quality for our comfort. The service was professional and friendly, although there was a slight issue with an incorrect order. The location was great for exploring the city, within walking distance of many attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have offered more variety. Overall, a comfortable and pleasant stay.
The hotel is strategically located, just a short walk from the vibrant city center and surrounded by a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants. The rooms, though facing the internal courtyard, are modern and well-kept, meeting guests' needs for comfort and convenience. However, my check-in experience was a bit delayed upon arrival.

I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were very comfortable, spacious, and the bathroom was stunning. A bit of noise from neighbors but nothing major. Perfect for four people with two bedrooms – one with a king-size bed and the other with two single beds.
