Wonderful stay with attentive staff

polite staffairport transferrooftop terraceblocked street
The staff was very polite and helpful. They arranged an airport transfer for me. I got an early breakfast due to a very early flight. The rooftop terrace was amazing. The sunset view was sensational, it reminded me of a dream. I appreciated the building's beauty. It added so much charm.
The street where the hotel is located was blocked sometimes. Finding transportation to and from the hotel was a challenge. I needed to walk a bit to find a taxi.

The breakfast had a great variety of options including fresh fruit and pastries; I found it quite convenient. The restaurant on the fifth floor offered panoramic views, this made every meal special. The staff ensured the dining area was always clean.

The hotel is situated near main attractions, that allowed easy exploration. Although located on a steep hill, the central location made it manageable. I could walk to several points of interest.

The hotel provided a spa; I enjoyed the massage service that was available. The building had modern fittings though I noted some nearby construction. The rooftop terrace stands out, with exceptional views for relaxation.
