Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but the service could be improved. The location is convenient, although there are some maintenance issues. The dining experience is mixed, with good food but certain limitations. Overall, a decent choice considering the value for money.
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.
The hotel provided me with a great stay overall. The rooms were clean, nice, and comfortable, and the variety of high-quality food was excellent. However, the location was not ideal due to the issue with the restaurant being open to the public, and the dining options were limited. The service was friendly, but there were some delays in fixing certain issues. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
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.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and perfect for families traveling with kids, but unfortunately, I was freezing due to the cold temperature. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very professional and taking care of any reported issues promptly. The location was not ideal for senior citizens and made us tired due to some untidiness, but the new furniture was a nice touch. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options available. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were modern and convenient.
