Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated in a quieter area but just a 10-minute walk from the main attractions. The rooms are stylish with European furnishings and come with a fridge, perfect for a family with three small kids. However, there isn't an additional kids' bed available. The service was exceptional, offering helpful assistance with housekeeping and tour arrangements. The location is convenient being close to the city center yet nestled in a quiet street. The dining options were satisfactory with a decent hot food selection. The facilities were well-maintained and suitable for a family getaway.
This hotel offers a comfortable stay with European furnishings and additional kids' bed in the rooms. The friendly service and the convenient location close to the city center make it a great choice, although the dining options could be improved. The facilities provide a satisfactory experience, but the value for money is mixed.
The hotel is situated within easy walking distance of the center, making it convenient while offering a quieter ambiance. The rooms feature lovely European furnishings, perfect for families with three small kids. The service was commendable with housekeeping and pet amenities available to enhance the stay. However, the dining options, limited to hot dogs, were a letdown. The price was considered reasonable overall.
