The breakfast was quite good with many options. the staff was attentive and helpful, especially in the restaurant. the location is convenient, close to public transportation. I found bus and metro stations nearby. access to the hamam was complimentary and required a reservation.

The check-in process was slow. I had to wait longer than expected. i found the air conditioning not very effective and had difficulties with it. the pool's operating hours are not ideal. It closes too early at 6 pm.
