    junior suite
    comfortable bed
    good breakfast

    I was upgraded to a Junior Suite at check-in, which was spacious and had a great view. The bed was super comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Breakfast had plenty of options and the staff were really friendly. No mosquitoes at all, a big plus! 🦟

    music
    equipment

    the check-in experience was less than stellar, with the staff acting like they were doing me a favor. the music in the lobby was simply unbearable, and i was shocked to find out the gym equipment was old and rusted. plus, i expected a complimentary upgrade, but what did i get? absolutely nothing. i almost gave them a good review, but just couldn’t.

    comfortable atmosphere
    hidden entrance
    unclean pool
    traffic noise

    Comfortable atmosphere for a restful stay.

    The hidden entrance made finding the hotel challenging. The swimming pool was not well maintained, which was disappointing. I was also disappointed with the noise from the traffic, making it hard to relax in my room.

    can just recommend for a weekend trip

    Friendly staff, clean room, great location made my stay memorable, with the added perk of reliable Wi-Fi that helped me plan my daily explorations and the hotel's close proximity to the city center making it easy to get around.

    Was all great.

    cozy bed
    friendly staff
    small lobby
    air-conditioning issue

    What makes it worth it – and what doesn’t

    Upgraded to a Junior Suite on arrival, featuring an outstanding view and a cozy bed! The breakfast choices were plentiful, and the friendly staff made every moment enjoyable.

    While the lobby was small, I missed a more welcoming reception area! Once in a while, the air-conditioning seemed to struggle, but it mostly did its job.

    helpful staff
    gym area
    breakfast selection
    room maintenance

    Wonderful staff who were always eager to assist. the gym and pool areas were delightful spots to unwind after a long day. The breakfast selection was plentiful and delicious.

    A couple of minor improvements needed in room maintenance. the air conditioning could be adjusted for optimal comfort.

    beautiful views
    outdated gym

    I had a great stay for 14 nights! The breakfast spread was impressive, and the views from my room were beautiful, although the gym facilities were quite outdated.
