A comfortable stay with friendly staff, but the location and cleanliness could be improved.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, and the overall stay was pleasant.

Cons:

The hotel’s location is quite far from most historical attractions (about 30 minutes away). Although there is a bus stop in front of the hotel, there is no nearby metro or tram station, which makes getting around less convenient. Also, the cleanliness could have been better.

Great location but better options nearby
Pros:

The view & the location are great. Everything is clean. There is an indoor pool.

Cons:

The room was too small. There was hardly any space to move. As they had no bigger rooms to offer, we switched to another hotel nearby. Also, the food at the rooftop restaurant was average (not worth the prices). Lastly, even though I confirmed 3 times in advance, they forgot to bring the birthday cake, so it ruined the surprise. They assured me it would be in the room upon arrival.
