The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Luxurious and Spacious Suite

I spent a nice night in a luxurious suite that was incredibly spacious and beautifully furnished. It had a large open-plan lounge with a swivel TV, allowing me to indulge in my favorite shows from the comfort of both the bed and the couch. The thoughtful bar area made my stay feel even more special, and the large bathroom was perfect for relaxation. It truly felt like a home away from home, making my stay incredibly enjoyable.

Really good Dining Experience

My dining experience at the hotel was absolutely good. I had the chance to dine at the hotel's restaurant several times, and each meal was better than the last. The breakfast options were fantastic and filled with a variety of delicious choices that kept me satisfied every morning. I also enjoyed dinner at the Jazz restaurant, where the ambiance and food combined to create a lovely evening. I can't recommend the dining enough!

Lovely Spa Experience

During my stay, I pampered myself with a fantastic spa session that included a facial and a massage. The services were at a fraction of the cost compared to those back home, making it an very nice deal. The spa facilities were well-appointed and provided a tranquil atmosphere, allowing me to unwind and relax to the fullest. I truly felt rejuvenated after my visit, and I highly recommend other guests to indulge in this wonderful experience.

Private Cinema Experience

A highlight of my experience was the chance to hire the hotel's private cinema for a movie night. I gathered a small group of friends, and we enjoyed watching a film in a cozy setting that felt very exclusive. The seats were comfortable, and although the surround sound could have been better, the experience was such a special way to spend an evening together. It added a unique touch to my stay that I won't forget!

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its stunning decor and art.

While I couldn't rate it a perfect 10 due to the slightly noisy dining experience, overall, the ambiance and remarkable service made it a memorable stay.

The hotel has some great art work and a lovely atmosphere, but our check-in experience was less than ideal, as we had issues with our room and the check-in process. While the dining was enjoyable, the same menu every day made options feel limited. Overall, there were some nice aspects, but certainly room for improvement.
