“What stood out to me is its strategic location, a stone's throw from both a tram stop and metro station; many shops and restaurants are nearby, and the staff seems genuinely committed to helping. The breakfast buffet, though not geared toward health food enthusiasts, appears plentiful with its fruits, vegetables, and pastries, so you get what you pay for. It seems a practical choice if you value convenience and service more than modern facilities.”
