One of the most beautiful hotels in the city, with stunning views and exceptional service. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist and resolve any issue that might arise. The hotel also offers plenty of options for dining and entertainment. The swimming pool is a little small, but it was perfectly fine. The breakfast was very good, with fresh products and a great variety of choices. The hotel places great importance on security, which is why access is not easy for non-guests. There are security checks for both cars and people entering the hotel, which made us feel very safe. They also provide currency exchange services, and the hotel has a beautiful and elegant atmosphere, with piano music in the afternoons and lovely decoration. Overall, this is truly a five-star hotel, and I highly recommend it without hesitatio
