Excellent stay
friendly staff efficient service relaxing atmosphere easy location
I found the staff to be friendly and efficient. They promptly addressed a couple of minor room issues. The rooftop pool area offered a relaxing atmosphere. I liked that the hotel's location is near various restaurants and bars. Breakfast had an eggs and pancakes offer.
The rooftop bar wasn't as well-stocked with drinks and cocktails as the posters suggested, a minor disappointment.
Rooms

The double room included a comfortable bed and a balcony. It faced away from the street, which ensured quiet evenings. The room included a mini-fridge and a safe. These are useful for storing drinks and valuables. A hairdryer and toiletries were provided.
