We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. It's just steps from the metro and very well located. The food in the hotel restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast is also well worth trying. The gym is small but adequate, and the pool is fantastic. All the staff are very attentive. The room is very nice, although it has the drawback that the wall separating the bathroom from the bedroom is made of frosted glass, and at night when the bathroom light is on, the light shines through into the entire room.

Excellent hotel for its location, value, and friendly staff. The breakfast was generous and good. The rooms were clean. The pool was a bit crowded and noisy (but that's partly due to the staff's politeness).
