limited breakfast poor english

the breakfast was quite disappointing. it seemed really limited and wasn't refilled properly (i was expecting more!). some dishes were missing during the last hour. also, the staff at the reception didn't speak english well, which caused difficulties when i needed assistance (it was a bit frustrating to be honest).

superb location and great facilities

clean room smart tv great air conditioning ceiling window

the room was very clean. a smart TV provided good entertainment options. air conditioning and heating worked great too. i really found the floor to ceiling windows excellent, it.

the hotel breakfast wasn't up to par, the salad bar felt limited, and some items weren't refilled promptly. it was a slight letdown compared to other aspects of the hotel.
