"Great, nice staff, this is the only strength of this hotel. Dining options are very poor and the prices not worth for the food quality - high prices for a mediocre food.
The breakfast quality is mediocre.
There are a lot of maintenance issues inside the room: i got several electrical problems (much of recharge sockets are out order) and this well documented by travellers, the rooms are pretty old and not well maintained.
Buttom line: this is not 5 stars hotel, other 4 stars hotels much better...
