What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Impressive Room Design

I was delighted by the unique layout of the suite, which combined a spacious living area with a separate bedroom. It made our stay feel more luxurious, allowing for relaxation in one room while still having the privacy of another. The attention to detail was evident, especially with the lovely decor and modern amenities.

Breakfast Bliss

The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations with a variety of delicious options. I particularly loved the made-to-order omelets, which added a personal touch. The attentive service during breakfast made me feel special and set a great tone for the day ahead.

6.8/10

The hotel is perfectly situated near the historic market area, making it easy to explore local restaurants and attractions. The staff is attentive and goes the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the rooms can feel cramped for more than a brief visit, and additional charges for amenities and dining surprised me. Overall, it offers a decent experience but lacks some value for money.
