From the friendliness of the staff to the clean pool and rooms, my stay was very pleasant. The rooms, although a bit tight, had everything we needed and were very comfortably furnished and soundproofed. However, the pool area was a bit small and lacked enough sunbeds. Overall, it was a comfortable and relaxing experience.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The rooms didn't feel like a 5-star experience; they were small, with two single beds stuck together instead of a proper double bed. However, the service was kind and friendly even though it came off a tad arrogant at times. The location was good, within walking distance of attractions, but the dining experience was hit-and-miss. Overall, it was an okay stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although not the newest, were modern, clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, the sound insulation wasn't great, and some rooms were unavailable due to safety reasons. The service was a bit hit-and-miss; while the staff were so nice and helpful with business services, they were not so knowledgeable about local tours. On the bright side, they allowed us a very late check-out, which was a lifesaver for our late flight. The location was pretty good, with easy access to the archaeological museum and a short walk to the town center, but it felt somewhat overshadowed by tall buildings. The dining experience was mostly positive, with a varied and well-made menu, although a mishap with spilled coffee tainted the experience. Overall, my stay had its ups and downs.

The hotel rooms were ready for a makeover and a bit small, but they were very comfortably furnished and soundproofed. The service was fantastic, from the front desk to housekeeping, and the staff provided great service during breakfast and other amenities. The location was ideal for exploring both the downtown core and venturing out of the city by car. The dining experience was lovely with varied fresh juices, but heating up the bread made it less desirable. Overall, a good value for the money with some room for improvement.

The hotel is slightly away from downtown, about 3km to the Venetian harbor, offering modern, clean rooms with super comfy beds and complimentary slip-on slippers. The service is excellent, particularly assisting with business services, though they could have changed the sheets. The location, while a bit off the center, provides a well-planned setting with indoor and outdoor tables, close to the town center but not within walking distance. Dining was varied and well-made, yet at times crowded with slow table clearing.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were very modern, high standard, and comfortable, though not very spacious. The service was superb across the board: highly competent, friendly, and helpful. The location was perfect, just a 10-minute walk from the old city on a quiet upscale street. The dining experience was top-notch as well. Great value for money overall!
