the staff were friendly. they offered good suggestions for nearby sights and dining. the location is elevated, but just a short walk away from the center.
the shower had a tiny opening making it hard to get into. the overhead shower dropped cold water when i used the hand shower. the lighting was very poor, and made it difficult to read at night.

Fantastic Artistic Hotel

helpful staff excellent breakfast quality items
The location was a short walk to the city center. The staff provided helpful advice on places for lunch. I received updates on the room readiness through WhatsApp. The breakfast offered excellent choices and high-quality items, ensuring a proper start to each day.
The bathroom design lacked the privacy I prefer. Doors to the shower and toilet area didn't provide full closure.

The hotel's breakfast buffet included an omelet station. The rooms offered unique designs and generous space. A king-size bed and spacious bathroom with a city view were notable. I found the staff very helpful with tour arrangements and friendly. I also had a delicious breakfast, and the quality felt high.
