“The quadruple room was spacious with a nice balcony, decent air conditioning, and three lamps. Having an electric kettle and fridge was handy. The location was marvellous – close to restaurants, the shopping street, theaters, and the Hop-on bus. Good food nearby at Da Bacco, just 5 minutes away. A great stay for a business trip, with good value.”
