I was delighted with the hotel's prime location, nestled in the heart of the town and surrounded by bustling shops and restaurants. The rooms were modern and spacious, enhanced by a lovely bathroom. While the service was impeccable with attentive room service and housekeeping, the absence of a welcome drink was a small letdown. The dining experience, especially the porridge, exceeded my expectations. The facilities offered were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
