The hotel location was excellent. It was close to the shopping centre and all other shops needed for daily life. The bed was comfortable. Hotel employees provided new towels almost every day. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room.

The window could not be completely opened in my room. There was therefore no way to fully refresh the air.
