The hotel is a gem in the heart of the city, offering cozy and modern rooms along with top-notch service. The central location makes it convenient to explore all the nearby attractions, but the dining options may leave something to be desired. Despite the slightly higher price, the value for money is evident in the overall experience.

I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location, right in the heart of the city with so much to do around. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the Wi-Fi came at an additional cost. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly comfortable and convenient.
