“This hotel appeals thanks to its exceptionally clean, modern rooms equipped with air conditioning, kettles, and coffee machines. Its location near a bus stop simplifies transport, although some rooms facing the street may experience noise. The standout feature, in my view, is the exceptional housekeeping staff, who guests describe as both helpful and friendly.”
