The room interior design is chic, trendy, and very well put together—especially the working table and the comfortable side sofa, which made it easy to relax or stay productive. The availability of multiple charging stations was a big plus, making it very convenient to work even while on holiday. As a bonus, the complimentary breakfast spread was both sufficient and delicious, offering a satisfying start to the day.

Great hotel in the city, close to so many attractions, amenities and various public transportation options.
