I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The huge and comfortable bed in my room was a dream, and the view from the balcony was spectacular. The location was perfect, right on the river bank, making it easy to explore the area and dine at some fantastic restaurants. The service was impeccable, and I even got a refreshing welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining options were a bit limited, but the fish dishes were delicious. Overall, a great value for the money.
