I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were outstanding with the biggest bed I've ever seen, a great shower, and a very comfortable bed. The windows even faced every 4 directions, giving me a unique view. The service was top-notch, and the location was convenient with easy access to the metro. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the price could be more budget-friendly.

I absolutely adored my stay at this hotel! The rooms are just divine, with a shower that feels like pure luxury, a gigantic bed that I never wanted to leave, and a private terrace that was like having my own little oasis in the city. The shower was fantastic, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The only downside was perhaps the price being a bit higher, but honestly, the value for money was totally worth it!
