the location is very convenient. it is close to many sights and public transport is easily accessible. there was a large variety of food for breakfast and all the staff that i interacted with were very nice. i will consider staying here again the next time i am in the country.
the family room was uncomfortable. it was clear from the photos that the staircase to the mezzanine was impractical. there were zero bath products except for two sachets. for the price paid, i expected better.

The room was very clean, and the room cleaning was done daily. I really liked the well-heated rooms, a definite plus during winter. The smart TV provided entertainment on evenings when I wanted to relax. The staff prepared sandwiches for my early morning flight departure. I found it very thoughtful.
The coffee from the machine at breakfast was not of great quality.
