Amazing stay close to everything!

fantastic locationhelpful staffcozy roomsound insulation
This hotel has a fantastic location near major attractions. The breakfast included a large variety of items. I found the staff very helpful. They provided great tips and even prepared a lunch box for my early departure. The room was also super clean and cozy!
The sound insulation wasn't perfect. I could hear some noise from the hallway.

The hotel offers a transfer service, a helpful addition, especially for airport trips (the price was very fair!). It made getting to and from the airport easy and stress-free, that I REALLY liked.

The breakfast spread had a wide range of options. Fresh food was available each morning. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish coffee and fried eggs Dilfuza made (she remembered my order every day!).
