The staff was generally friendly and accommodating. We had opted for breakfast, which was also very nice and appealing. The only thing we would have preferred differently was if the entire hotel was non-smoking. Although we had a non-smoking room, the hallways were still heavily affected by the smell of smoke from nearby rooms

The hotel is comfortable and well-located, but the staff is very slow: in the bar/restaurant and the relaxation area.
The breakfast buffet is fantastically fresh and varied and opens at 6am for workers. Thank you very much.
The sauna and hammam were cold on the 3 mornings of my stay despite a warning on the first 2 days, I gave up on the 3rd. I bumped into a guy who said "but yesterday afternoon it worked"?! Cool, in that case don't say it's open in the morning! Also: no lights, no towels, no shower gel refills ... in the morning at least, on the women's side.
Only 2 charging stations in the room and only on one side of the bed, so not very practical for the computer and 2 phones.

2- hotel very very dark! I didnt like it
3- cigarettes smells everywhere!!! Even inside none smoking room, where the spray refresher but it didnt help!
4- I've made a complain about gents smoking indoor inside the restaurant, no one took any action.

My stay was good . I think you should get new memory foam mattresses instead of the old one that is currently in my room, but I loved the shower and tub. I was disappointed that there was no microwave.

The hotel is passable, but I found it quite inconvenient overall. Specifically, the bathroom setup, shower, and room lighting were all problematic. After staying for two nights, I must say it was a thoroughly disappointing experience.
