What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Clean

I stayed in an Executive King Room and absolutely loved the comfort of the bed and pillows. The room was very clean and had all the amenities I needed, including fast internet, a fridge, and an excellent kettle setup with instant coffee and tea options. The walk-in shower was refreshing too! I had a wonderful experience during my stay.

Delicious Buffet Breakfast

The buffet breakfast at the restaurant on the 17th floor was a highlight of my stay. I particularly enjoyed the fresh poached eggs and the variety of options available. The view was also lovely, creating a pleasant atmosphere for my morning meal.

Refreshing Shower Experience

I really appreciated the spacious bathroom during my stay. The selection of toiletries was great, and the hot shower felt wonderful after a long day. It was a truly refreshing experience that I looked forward to every evening.

Convenient Parking Facilities

I found it extremely convenient to have parking available, despite the cost. It made accessing my car easy whenever I needed it. Parking can get tricky in the city, so having this facility nearby was a significant plus for my stay.
