The hotel offers stunning balcony views and comes equipped with air conditioning and air freshener, making the rooms a delightful stay. However, the price could be more budget-friendly. The hotel service is excellent, with convenient laundry services and helpful tours/ticket assistance available. The location is superb, especially for tram travel convenience, but it may be a bit removed from certain activities. The dining experience is top-notch, particularly for beef dishes. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, though possibly a bit pricier. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
