the staff were pleasant and helpful, which i found acceptable.
The room i received was not up to par. It was cold. i booked a triple room, but it turned out to be a double room with a sofa bed. other furniture wasn't removed, so the space felt quite crowded. this arrangement did not meet my expectations for a triple occupancy room.

Breakfast at the restaurant was tasty.
WiFi was absent . The minibar remained unreplenished for two days despite my raising the issue with reception. This is unacceptable in an hotel that claims to offer a superior service.
