The hotel had fantastic rooms with a great view, although they smelled like cigarette smoke at times. The service was a mix of rude and extremely courteous staff. The location was perfect for visiting museums and historical sites, but the dining experience was overpriced and limited in options.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a lovely view of the park. The service was top-notch with friendly and efficient staff. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of the old city within walking distance to major attractions. The dining options were decent but slightly expensive. Overall, a great value for money.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were incredibly clean, spacious, and comfortable, equipped with all the right amenities. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had a one-of-a-kind experience. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the historic sights in town. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the buffet could use some more variety. Despite that, the overall value for money was great.
