Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms, with junior suites proving ideal for families and grand suites featuring two bathrooms and well-equipped kitchens; some have found the hotel layout a bit confusing. The breakfast receives high marks for its vast options and fresh quality, while the Pizzeria is another popular dining choice. The spa, divided into three blocks, is a highlight, and the location is convenient for exploring the surrounding area, though local buses are not very regular.
