I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all the main attractions. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of sightseeing. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially for breakfast. Overall, the stay was good value for money, though the Wi-Fi should have been complimentary.
