Pros:

Good location (restaurants/supermarkets, shopping center just a few minutes' walk away), parking options, and a well-equipped, clean, and nicely furnished room with very comfortable beds. We were very pleased with our room (and I especially loved the huge bathroom).I would definitely book here again if I came back.

Cons:

The breakfast was a disappointment. It consisted of a combination of an à la carte and a buffet. The selection for the à la carte was very limited (one could choose only a single dish, which, moreover, did not taste particularly good). The buffet was even more disappointing, offering only a meager selection of jams, bread, muesli, and a little salad (along with perhaps apples and bananas). Given the hotel's category and the price of the breakfast—especially when compared to other hotels in the same category—we felt the breakfast was a significant weak point of the Luma Hotel; there is room for improvement here...

⭐ Excellent Stay, Wish I Could Stay Longer!
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had a wonderful stay at Luma Hotel! The location is excellent and made it very convenient to get around. The room was comfortable, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing rest after a long day.
The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Another big plus is that there are plenty of great food options within walking distance, so finding something delicious was never a problem.
Highly recommend Luma Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a great location. I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Dislike: Honestly, the only downside is that the room was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave! I wish I could have stayed a few more nights. Definitely a place that makes checkout feel way too soon.
