Everything was perfect except for the location. The hotel is situated outside the city center, in an area that feels more like an industrial zone; however, the hotel’s inward-spiraling architectural design completely separates you from that atmosphere. The breakfast is excellent everything is very fresh and served hot. All the staff are extremely friendly, smiling, and helpful. The rooms and the entire hotel are spotlessly clean; everywhere smells pleasantly of soap. The rooms’ heating system, the beds, and overall comfort are all very good.
