    customizable breakfast
    spacious balcony
    dry octopus

    Breakfast offered numerous alternatives for picky eaters, allowing for a customizable start to the day. The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony provided ample space to relax after a long day with a great view.

    Breakfast hot dishes weren't quite warm enough, and the bread felt a bit dry. Dinner left something to be desired—specifically the octopus, which resembled a dry kebab and could have benefitted from some veggies. Also, be mindful of taxi logistics. road work near the airport made the trip longer than expected, so plan accordingly.

    serene atmosphere
    impressive breakfast
    inconsistent wifi
    neglected areas
    bathroom amenities

    The gardens and koi ponds were stunning, creating a serene atmosphere throughout my stay. The breakfast selection was impressive, catering to various tastes, with delightful hot dogs on the menu. However, the wifi was inconsistent, making it challenging to stay connected. Additionally, some areas felt a bit neglected, and the bathroom amenities could use an upgrade. The hotel's location was convenient but not always quiet due to nearby traffic.
