3-night trip

10/10

Very modern-style hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious, quiet and clean. The rooftop pool and bar is very nice and with a great view over the city, The breakfast is to order from a menu card, so if you prefer continental breakfast from a buffet this is not the right place. I did get some tasteful avocado toast with scramble egg and an overnight oatmeal, which tasted very well. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel.
