My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for our one-night stay, and I loved the architecture and style. However, there were some issues with the room being noisy from outside bars and the air ducts making it hard to sleep. The service was great from the staff at the front desk, although it seemed they were distracted at times. The dining experience was friendly and fast, although not included, and the facilities were average. Overall, a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were basic but tidy, offering useful information about the area. However, the proximity to a noisy courtyard and some lingering smells were a downside. The service varied from extremely helpful and friendly to indifferent in handling requests. The location had its positives with many dining options but also raised concerns about safety. The dining at the nearby cafe was friendly and fast. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to town, making it easy to access cafes and the casino. However, the room was a bit outdated for the price paid, with some inconveniences like a low shower head and small size.

The room decor was very dated, and the space felt smaller than expected, requiring climbing over the bath. The shower head was uncomfortably low for me at 165 cm.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its amazing rooms complete with a spa bath and terrace, but the noise from outside bars and air ducts affected my sleep quality. The location was perfect in the city center, yet a bit confusing to find initially. The service was top-notch, with staff who were always willing to help, although the room was a little hot at times. The dining experience in the adjacent restaurant was included and of great value. Overall, a mixed experience with wonderful amenities but some room for improvement.

The hotel was on a side street, considerably quieter than my previous stay, but fairly noisy with street noise clearly heard. The room was open and unattended, which could have carried a warning for those unable to step over into the deep bath without assistance. Service was a mix of friendly and helpful encounters, with some instances of staff not being very present. The location was a bit of a mixed bag, with some noisy disturbances but also being ideal for our needs. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some delicious options but also some disappointing aspects. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers very spacious rooms, although the lack of pillows and excessive heat required some adjustments. The service was friendly and accommodating despite a few communication challenges. Its central location is ideal for exploring the area, although some aspects leading to the lobby may not be appealing. The dining options were satisfactory, with meals served in a nearby restaurant. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel had a mixed experience for me. The rooms were spacious but had a musty smell and needed a good clean, making them a bit uncomfortable. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being friendly and helpful, while others were quite unresponsive to requests. The location was convenient for city access but had security concerns with gates not being closed on time. The dining options were enjoyable but only available next door, not directly in the hotel.
