The staff here were amazing! The breakfast every morning was so delicious and they had a good variety to choose from. I really like the unlimited glass water bottles and the coffee that was available throughout our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. AC unit and a shower with good running hot water.

Un hôtel confortable et bien équipé. Le personnel est très dynamique,serviable et efficace ce qui fut vraiment appréciable. Le petit-déjeuner est varié même si tout n'est pas excellent. La piscine est moyenne : petite et ombragée avec une eau très froide. L'hôtel est situé dans un secteur calme de la vieille ville. C'est excentré mais il y a des petites rues authentiques avec des commerces sympathiques. Une dizaine de minutes de l'aéroport. En somme, nous avons vraiment apprécié et nous reviendrons.
