I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is located in a quiet spot yet still close enough to the action. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and I really appreciated the friendly staff. However, the dining options were limited, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, I found it to be a great value for money, but the Wi-Fi charges were an unexpected surprise.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to the clean and spacious rooms that offered a stunning view. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. However, the location was a bit tricky to find since it's tucked away down a dark alley and not very central. Dining was another area where it fell short, as the breakfast options were quite limited, which was disappointing for me.
