    The breakfast was included and had a variety of options available, including coffee. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was central, making it easy to get around the city.

    The noise level from surrounding bars and clubs was disruptive during the night. The room was in need of some updates and could have been cleaner.

    During my New Year's stay, I enjoyed the inclusive breakfast and the friendly staff who offered a delightful welcome drink. the convenient location near key attractions made it easy to explore the surrounding areas. the room service and large private balcony were a pleasant surprise.

    The lack of proper cleaning was particularly unimpressive and the room had a certain unpleasant odor. the music from the bar made it difficult to sleep at night.

    The staff, especially Dave, were super friendly and went above and beyond to help us out, even taking pictures for us. The welcoming drinks were a mind-blowing idea! The inclusive breakfast was delicious, and all the meals were jaw-droppingly good. The value for money was fantastic, with a room that had all the necessary amenities, including a powerful en suite shower. The vibrant bar had so much character and was the perfect place to end the night. We can't forget to mention the helpful and friendly staff, especially Dave, who was a true gentleman and gave us great advice and tips throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
