My overall stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The room was a bit small, but since we were only staying for one night, it was perfectly fine. The front desk, spa, gym, and overall service were excellent. The team arranged twin beds for us as requested and even delivered our luggage to the room while I was at the spa. Both the receptionist and the spa manager were very attentive, helpful, and genu...

The rooms are lovely, spacious and relatively new (2021..). The spa is underground but with natural light and finished in dark tiles, very stylish. The breakfast offer is generous. The staff were all lovely and helpful. The art work throughout the hotel is great. The design/ layout of the rooms has a few flaws: the blue light at the light switches at both sides of the bed head are extremely bright...
