Rooms
Travelers appreciate the strategic location of the hotel and the friendly, welcoming staff who are always ready to assist. The bathrooms, similar to the rooms, are kept very clean with functional showers. However, some guests have mentioned discomfort due to short mattresses and less-than-ideal pillows.
Soundproofing appears to be a minor issue, particularly for rooms facing the street. Meanwhile, the air conditioning system is centrally controlled, which has led to some dissatisfaction, especially during warmer nights.

There are a few isolated complaints about specific issues like a slight cigarette smell in the rooms, problematic showers and safety concerns with wet floors.

For those willing to invest in the spa experience, the service is generally good, although the pricing may not align with the amenities available. Overall, while the spa has its merits, potential visitors should be aware of the extra expenses and manage their expectations accordingly.
