Room size160Strength
It's a spacious, comfortable hotel, but I found it far from the newer part of the city and I didn't like the breakfast: there were few fruits, they took a long time to replenish the cold cuts, and there was no coffee machine.

Overall, everything is fine, just keep in mind that the bathtub in the rooms is a bit dirty, as is the sink, and in the breakfast area they take a while to refill the food and juices.
