The rooftop terrace provided the perfect escape and a lovely view. breakfast was a good experience. Everything tasted fresh. the staff always greeted me with a warm smile. Their kindness.
I noticed some minor wear and tear in the bathroom. The grout could use some attention. the street outside was a bit noisy at times. Light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. the limited hours for the rooftop pool was disappointing.

great locationfriendly staffcoffee machine
i liked the great location, just a quick walk to the center! the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was quite good. the rooftop area is nice, offering some great views.
There was no coffee machine in the room. Finding a cafe open early nearby proved difficult. That was a shame.

The breakfast setup puzzled me A little. It came pre-made on a board. I didn't get to choose ANYTHING. Some of it I didn't even want to eat, so it seemed like a waste. the coffee machine made AWFUL coffee, a huge letdown.

The hotel room was quite spacious. It had comfortable beds. The balcony was a nice extra. It gave me some fresh air. The shower was also comfortable. I liked it.
The coffee machine did not produce great coffee. It was a disappointment. I also found that the room had poor storage for clothes. There was not enough space. There were no tea or coffee-making facilities in the room.

the rooftop terrace was a nice feature it provided a relaxing space.
the coffee machine was subpar producing a weak brew that was quite disappointing the shower floor also showed signs of mold which was off-putting furthermore the lack of sufficient storage in the room was inconvenient as there was no proper place to keep my clothes.
