Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was great. It's not very central, but very well connected to the city center. It has a vibrant and young feel. Only two things to improve, in my opinion, are check-in and check-out modalities and breakfast, which can be a little richer in variety of foods offered. Other than that, rooms impeccable, very quiet and staff always ready, kind and professional.

Overall, it is a good hotel. The staff is friendly and kind, which made our stay pleasant. One area that could be improved is the cleanliness of the rooms, as it wasn’t the best even upon arrival. However, after mentioning it to the staff, they promptly took care of the issue.
