Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were newly refurbished and hence clean and neat, and the swimming pool was a great addition. However, some areas were barely renovated, which was a slight drawback.
The hotel's external appearance may not do it justice because once inside, the rooms are surprisingly nice and fresh. They are a good size, which was unexpected. The staff, contrary to the first impression, is friendly and helpful, making the stay pleasant. The location offers a convenient shuttle bus service to and from the airport, near a supermarket for any needs. The pool area, although somehow disappointing, provides some relaxation. Dining options were adequate, especially for quick stopovers. It offers tasty dishes and is ideal for winter walks and tours.
