The room was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay, and the setup matched the listing perfectly. The location was also a big plus, with just a short walk to a great selection of shops and restaurants, making it really convenient ...

The people working there were SUPER friendly and professional... I asked them for directions and reservations to restaurants and taxi to go to the airport and every time they were spot on. The food is served at the bar next to them and it was buffet style very fresh and delicious.
