The hotel had a peaceful and safe location in a lovely villa district, making it easy to get to the city center. My room was spacious and mostly clean, but I noticed that the carpets could use a deep clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. However, I found the breakfast options rather mediocre and repetitive, which was a bummer since the hotel is a bit isolated for dining.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is located in a quiet area not too far from the city. The rooms were spacious and came with a nice terrace, but the carpets could use some improvement as they weren't very clean. The staff was friendly and eager to help with any requests, but the dining experience wasn’t great, especially since there were limited options available. Overall, I'd say it's decent for the price, but a few upgrades would make a big difference.
