I had a decent stay at this hotel, thanks to its charming location right on the lake promenade. The rooms were fresh and spacious enough, offering a comfortable environment. However, I did encounter some issues with the service, especially from one staff member who seemed quite unfriendly. Overall, it's a good choice for its location and value for money, despite a few hiccups with the service.

The hotel is situated in a great location, just steps away from the railway station and near plenty of outdoor restaurants, which is a big plus. The rooms were spacious and had essential air conditioning, but the bedding setup could have been more comfortable. The breakfast offered a variety of options but was a bit chaotic at times. Service was friendly, yet expect a basic level of assistance, especially considering the prices.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, being so close to the promenade, and the staff were notably friendly and helpful.
