I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms had a great shower and a lovely view of the park, making my mornings so refreshing. The service was top-notch, from the chatty bar staff to the very professional receptionists. The location, although a bit further out of the city center than expected, was in a nice neighborhood with a beautiful park nearby. The dining experience was delightful with included champagne and delicious smoked fish. The facilities were fantastic, especially the park view. One downside was the price being a bit high for some amenities, but overall, it was worth every penny.
