I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, making my stay quite comfortable. However, the staff wasn't the friendliest, which was a bit disappointing. The location was decent, though a bit far from the main attractions. Overall, it felt like good value for the money, especially with the amenities available.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which truly felt like a 'home away from home. ' The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for two people. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help. The only downside was the location-while it was convenient for groceries, I did hear some road noise at night. Overall, it was great value for money, especially given the facilities and the friendly service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and had a separate living area, which was nice, but it lacked some basic kitchen utensils. The service left a lot to be desired, as the staff seemed rude and inattentive. On the plus side, the location was fairly convenient; with a quick tram ride to the city center. Overall, while it has potential, the service and amenities could definitely improve.
