    room size issues

    The hotel offers comfortable accommodations, with clean, modern rooms that provide a welcoming atmosphere. However, the bed was quite firm, and the air conditioning was centrally controlled, making adjustments tricky for guests. Overall, it's a pleasant choice for families and couples looking for a convenient spot to explore nearby attractions.

    impeccable suite
    exceptional breakfast

    Here's my take on it

    Delighted by the impeccable executive suite that welcomed us with delightful surprises like complimentary water, wine, and chocolates! The staff's friendliness made us feel at home, and the breakfast spread was simply exceptional. A 20-minute stroll to the city center kept us energized. This gem ticks all the boxes for a perfect stay!

    A Great Stay with Delicious Local Dining

    Surprisingly close to the town center, the trip was a joy. The room provided tranquility after busy days. Don’t miss Silfio for pizza or Kumakis for delightful desserts—both are within walking distance. Take a taxi to major attractions. it saves time! Highly recommend!

    friendly staff
    small room

    The restaurant was open late, which was

    a pleasant surprise after our late arrival. The staff was genuinely friendly and our meal was enjoyable, set in a modern ambience. However, I wish the room was a bit more spacious for our family of four.
