Breakfast100Strength
Very good hotel, always clean, good service and tasty breakfast
Tripadvisor, December 2025, rated 5/5 by this guest
To sum up the hotel - it’s a nice hotel with great breakfast , but no restaurant 🫣 they really have allowed the amazing terrace to be used as a shisha area and food just isn’t eaten here - people sit for hours just smoking the pipe and no even eating.

The location was amazing, the room view was really good, the staff including Aslam was excellent.
Tripadvisor, July 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
I thought that because the location is a bit out of the way, the quality would be slightly higher.
