Good afternoon. I stayed at this hotel for three days on a business trip. I spent almost all my time at the hotel. I liked the rooms, especially the rooms. I can also say that the food was really delicious. The kitchen has an incredible view, and there is also a terrace overlooking the sea, and you can go straight down to the embankment. I highly recommend this hotel. ☺️
