The hotel's location was really convenient. It gave me easy access to many local attractions. The room was clean and modern. I also found the staff to be friendly and helpful . The sky bar had amazing views.
The breakfast buffet was quite crowded. I had to wait in line for seating. The pool area was smaller than I expected. Some of the umbrellas were broken.

the hotel offered a central location. many shops and restaurants are nearby and the metro station was very close. i also acknowledge that hotel guests receive priority access to the rooftop bar.
