    This hotel is in a great location, close to many major sites and good restaurants. The rooms are small but comfortable and clean. The staff is extremely helpful and makes you feel comfortable. The breakfast buffet offers a variety of options including cereals, breads, cheeses, and fresh fruits.

    The air conditioning is not controllable in the rooms, which can make it quite warm.

    This hotel boasts an unbeatable location, with easy walking distance to all the main sights of the city, along with stunning views of the river. The rooms are bright, clean, and decorated with beautiful marble bathrooms. The breakfast is plentiful and the friendly staff can provide great dining and sightseeing recommendations. The hotel offers a lovely roof garden and a bar area with a sommelier to round off your day.

    The temperature controls and light switches in the rooms can be difficult to navigate.

    Great stay in the heart of the city! The hotel had a prime location, just a short walk from major attractions. The staff was exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond, even fixing a laptop for one of my colleagues. Additionally, the rooms were spacious and some even had sunrooms, providing a unique touch to our stay.

    The mattresses were quite firm which may not be suitable for those who prefer a softer bed. Another downside was the bathroom layout, which seemed a bit awkward although it was quite large.

    The location of the hotel was absolutely fantastic! It was within walking distance to all the major attractions, making it really convenient to explore the city. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They provided excellent customer service and were always willing to assist with any requests or queries.- The room I stayed in had a beautiful view from the balcony. It was such a treat to wake up and see the stunning sights of the city.

    There were moments when the noise from the street outside could be quite loud, especially during the night. It did disrupt my sleep on a few occasions.
