Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is tucked away in an obscure side street, making it a bit hard to find, but it's quite close to the metro, which is convenient. The rooms are spacious and modern, although the lack of toiletries was a downside. The receptionist was not welcoming, but the remaining staff provided excellent service. The dining experience was average with local fish offerings. The facilities were good overall, but the location in a wholesale market area may not appeal to everyone.
The hotel is situated in a small street not easily accessible by taxi but is close to the main road, making it convenient to find transportation. The rooms do not match the pictures as they lack essential amenities like towels and toiletries, and the bed linens and blankets were not up to standard. The receptionist at the hotel is unwelcoming and treats guests rudely, affecting the overall service experience. However, the hotel offers an authentic Italian dining experience known for its delicious pizzas.
