Breakfast had fresh and varied options and included items like olives and cake. The room I stayed in was spacious and it offered a safe and a stocked fridge. The hotel featured a spacious reception at street level with a convenient lift, and this helped with my baggage. I had replenished drinking water in the room daily.

Good Stay Near Historical Wonders

convenient location helpful staff taxi service
I was happy with the location. It was a short walk to major attractions. The staff stored our bags because we had a late flight. The staff also offered to call us a taxi in the middle of the night (that was very thoughtful).
My room door was not locking from inside the room. I felt unsafe at NIGHT because i was traveling alone.

The breakfast lacked variety! it was the same options every day. also, the gym was quite small. There were only a few machines available, and some were out of order. this made it hard to get a good workout. the air conditioning in the room was not very effective. the temperature was difficult to control. the bathroom was also small.
