Nice room
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were given a one bed room apartment. It was great. They provided a baby cot and that made life easier for us. The toilet was by far the only one with a heated flooring so going to the toilet was not a chore. Loved the architecture and deco of the place. Free tea in the afternoon. That was a nice touch. Mall walking distance from the hotel. We stayed only for a night and it was a great night.
