    I liked the room as it makes you feel like your to a degree abroad in a European style hotel with the exception of the winter coldness and the faculties were good.

    Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Harmony, whose friendliness and helpfulness stood out. She even provided us with a complimentary room upgrade, which was a delightful surprise. The room itself was beautiful and impeccably clean. Harmony took the time to explain all the facilities in great detail, ensuring we felt comfortable and well-informed.

    The hotel's location is excellent, with a tram stop just around the corner and the train station only a 15-minute walk away. The city is beautiful, and our stay at this hotel made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely choose to stay here again!
