I found transport very convenient. The hotel is super close to the metro and tram. The room was cleaned daily, and the team always left drinking water. The breakfast included many choices. tasty food and drinks at the rooftop restaurant! The on-site pool, sauna, hammam, and massage services were perfect for unwinding.
I noticed some noise from other rooms as the soundproofing was not ideal.
