7.9Verified guest“We liked everything. Staff attention was excellent, especially from Gisela and her team. Facilities were top-notch, with maximum tranquility and comfort. Bedding quality—sheets, pillows, and accessories—was a delight, and the mattress was super comfortable. The shower was extraordinary, and the bathroom kit was complete. Breakfast was very assorted. For our wedding anniversary, they sent sparkling wine and exquisite candy to the room. The location was excellent: quiet and accessible to any part of the city centre.”
