Wonderful Stay

The rooms were large and provided a pleasant city view. The lounge bar had a cool atmosphere, and the restaurant featured a Michelin star. The rooftop offered a pool with a beautiful 360-degree view of the surrounding area. I found everything stylish and gorgeous. The staff was friendly and efficient.
We were asked to pay an additional fee for the extra person and a hefty deposit. The lack of an extra bed highlighted a lack of service.
