Patrik Czech Republic

The location of the hotel was really great, close to all the restaurants and bars we wanted to go to. Not far from the center at all. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very nice and amenities were replaced daily. The heating worked great. The spa and pool were nice as well, loved the robes and shoes they provided. In general, a great hotel.

Mardeca Italy

The amazing and friendly staff had a big impact on the experience. The hotel itself was very clean and looked luxurious.

Yan Israel

Hotel design, atmosphere, food, room quality, availability of saunas and a pool, convenient location of hotel, a lot of restaurants/bars in the area

Anton

Idan Israel

We were upgraded and had a really nice room with a balcony on the top floor. The Hotel is in a great location, everything is accessible. The Hotel itself is lovely and we didn't hear much noise from the street or other rooms. The Pool and Sauna is a good bonus. The outdoor Pool had closed for the Winter the weekend I arrived but I'm sure it's a great feature for the Summer months! I would recommend downloading 'Bolt' - the local taxi app, very handy to use and cheaper than standard taxis.
