I had a lovely stay at the hotel with some great features and a few drawbacks. The rooms were fantastic with a wonderful balcony for soaking up the sun, but the hotel could use more sun beds. The hotel offered rooms with 2 single beds, which was convenient. The service was good overall, but you had to be patient with the night shift at the bar. The hotel's location in a quiet suburb was peaceful and well-managed, offering easy access to various districts. The dining experience was satisfactory with poultry dishes. The facilities were well-maintained, adding to a pleasant stay overall.
