everything was impeccably clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. The kitchen was well-equipped with free breakfast options like cereals and tea, which added a nice touch. I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere and the availability of a massage chair in the lounge was a delightful bonus. Plus, the location was perfect, just a short walk to all the main attractions.
