Nice facilities”

The hotel is nice, comfortable and well decorated. The rooms are nice and also well furnished. They have a very nice rooftop pool. It is welcoming and relaxing to be up there. I have 2 complaints though, the rooms are not the size they are advertised. They said 35 square meters and they are not that large, more like 25 or 26 square meters. Standard rooms are smaller like 22 square meters. There is not a lot of hot water, there is some but not enough to make the shower hot, just warm. It is a nice hotel though and quite comfortable.

Had to change room twice. Smokers in hotel despite rules. ”

I don’t want to have to review this place badly but I can’t honestly say I’d come back. I woke up in the night of our first night there and our whole room smelled like sewer drain. We suffered till the next day and then asked to be switched to another room. They were very obliging and kind about switching us. The problem is they put us on a floor where there were all these men drinking and smoking with their doors open. The hallway was like a smoke parlor where your throat burns just walking through. And then it started to seep into our room and that’s when I reluctantly asked for another switch. The receptionist was sweet and she said she had tried to ask multiple times for the men to stop smoking but they wouldn’t (why not kick them out? They have a no smoking rule with signs posted...) so she switched us to another room that hasn’t had issues with smells thankfully. The good thing is the beds are really soft and nice, with a memory foam topper that really makes a difference when most beds at hotels here are hard hard. All the rooms are a different shape and style it seems so you don’t know what you’re going to get when booking. The pool is nice. The breakfast is unimpressive. Bathrooms are fine and there’s good hot water. My biggest issue was the smell and smoking. Then the unimpressive breakfast. I would not come back to this hotel. It’s just not family friendly.
