Friendly staff and super clean bathroom

The reception desk and all staff are exceptionally welcoming. The check-in and check-out process is efficient. The breakfast offered is standard but fresh, with a good selection of fruits. The bathroom is impeccably clean, and the bed is very comfortable. - room on the eighth floor. Convenient location. The only downside is the lack of a Netflix viewing option.
