It a nice quiet and ambient environment with a good value for money and low noise level with amenities replaced when needed and have a good cleaning service system with the help of Mr.Arman with the hotel being situated in a nice area.
Tripadvisor, December 2025, rated 4/5 by this guest
I was happy with my stay here but the only reason I’ll give it a 4 star is due to a rather unpleasant issue I had where housekeeping does not leave clean dishes in the apartment which it definitely should be done hopefully next time I come this is fixed and I can update the star
