The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. The space itself is pleasant, quiet, and well-designed, with comfortable rooms and excellent cleanliness. I really appreciated the self-check-in system—it’s convenient and modern, especially when you don’t want to wait in line.

We eventually managed to contact a staff member via phone who sent us the codes. It was frustrating, but not deal-breaking.
