The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Functional

I loved how spacious the Deluxe Double Room was, equipped with a kitchenette and washer/dryer. The addition of a sofabed and a small table made it feel like a home away from home. The bathroom was well-designed with a lovely bathtub next to the shower, adding a touch of luxury to my stay.

Innovative Bathroom Heater

The bathroom heater was an amazing feature! It not only kept the space warm but also dried my clothes in no time. It was something I had never seen before in other accommodations, and it made my stay so much more comfortable.
