A decent stay with minor issues

great locationmany restaurantsfresh optionsloud air conditioninghard bedairport shuttle
The location is great! It is a short walk to many restaurants and shops. The rooms are also quite big, I liked that. Breakfast offered plenty of choices and fresh options. It was a nice start to the day.
The air conditioning was quite loud. It did wake me up a few times . The bed was also too hard for my liking. It affected my sleep. I thought the hotel would have an airport shuttle, though that was not the case.

Fantastic Hotel Experience!

great selectionconvenient parkingconstant noise
The breakfast had a GOOD selection of meats, fruit, and croissants. The location was superb. It was one minute to the beautiful Tkalciceva Street (so close to everything!). I also found parking available, convenient.
The ac had a noise that constantly woke me up. The receptionist offered to change the room, but the other room's ac had a similar noise. The beds in the alternative room were also smaller (so I stayed in the original room).
