Nice two‑night stay The service and staff were attentive, responding instantly when I called about a rusted kettle. The lobby is vast, with majestic décor that makes the entire hotel feel like entering a palace. The outer entrance doesn’t quite reflect the splendour inside. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully designed, carrying the same refined atmosphere. Other areas such as the conference, the suite, and the beautiful chimneys add to the charm. The main public balcony on the first floor was not bad either, offering a pleasant spot to pause. The room itself was wonderful, though the view was disappointing; the window opened onto an odd space. My breakfast was vegetarian, freshly served (not buffet style but a la carte), and absolutely delicious. The location is interesting, with a few gift shops nearby which opened till late and a cinema hall, though it happened to be closed during my stay. Enjoyed seeing the beautiful horse‑chariot areas close by but did not try 🤩 🅿️ Parking: ⁉️ unsure, maybe they arrange ♿ Wheelchair Accessibility: ✅️ ♿ 🅿️ Wheelchair Parking: ⁉️ unsure ♿ 🚻 Wheelchair WC: ⁉️ unsure, maybe some rooms are 📶 Wifi: ✅️ 💳 Debit / Credit Card: ✅️ 📱E-payments: ✅️ 🛗 Lift/ramp : ✅️
