My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable, although the noisy air conditioning was a bit of a downside, and the absence of free drinking water was inconvenient. Having a bath in the room was a nice addition. The service was acceptable, with efficient housekeeping and laundry services, but the welcome drink was lacking. The location was excellent, close to everything in the city and near tram stops, making transportation convenient. The dining experience was satisfying, with more quality food available, especially various hot meal options. The facilities were adequate, catering to the basic needs of guests.
