“We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were extremely kind and the location was great – a short walk to major sights and the city centre. The metro was only two minutes away. Our room had a balcony, and the facilities were excellent, including a spacious kitchen, a pool table, a lounge with TV, a small bar, and even a piano.”
