I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were extremely clean, spacious, and located on a smoking floor. The service was friendly and professional, and the staff took the time to fix any issues promptly. Although the location was not ideal due to the opening of the restaurant to the general public, the property itself was well-equipped. The dining options were subpar for a 5-star hotel, but the amenities made up for it.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very modern and in great condition, perfect for parents traveling with children. However, the under-bed area was cold even when I turned off the air conditioning. The service was outstanding and very helpful, especially appreciating the Turkish bath provided. The location wasn't ideal, making me tired and not suitable for senior citizens. The dining options were limited but bordering on disappointing, except for the excellent variety of great quality food. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were tidy and spacious, but the cold temperature was uncomfortable at times. I must thank Arni for the wonderful Turkish bath provided, which would be a great perk for parents traveling with children. However, the chilly room temperature was a downside for me.
