Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with great facilities and modern design in the rooms. The kitchenette was non-functional, but there was a fridge provided. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed the housekeeping, laundry, welcome drink, and happy hour offerings. The location on the Ring Road was convenient for accessing nearby attractions, even though it was on display in the restaurant. The dining experience featured a mouth-watering Hungarian beef stew but lacked healthy options for vegetarians. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, offering a comfortable and clean environment.
The hotel was ideally located within a small college campus, providing a serene atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and modern, featuring a giant shower, but the dining options were limited for vegetarians. The service was outstanding with attentive housekeeping and a delightful welcome drink. Overall, the value for money was good despite the lack of healthy dining choices.
