In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds and clean, modern furnishings. Many rooms include garden views, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities.
- Rooftop pool and fitness centre — The seasonal rooftop pool offers a pleasant escape, and the fitness centre is noted as well-equipped. These amenities add to the hotel's appeal for leisure and active travellers.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location outside the city centre — The hotel is in a residential neighbourhood about a 30-minute walk from the old town, so you'll rely on taxis or buses to reach the main sights.
- Dining scores lower than other aspects — The on-site restaurant and bar receive a lower guest rating compared to rooms and service, suggesting limited or inconsistent dining options.
- Staff can be overly cautious at check-in — At least one guest found the request for a full home address awkward, especially when staying from abroad, which created an uncomfortable first impression.
