I had a lovely time at this hotel, which is set back in a green area and has a beautiful view over the gardens. The staff was friendly, but the service was a bit slow at times due to how busy they were. The rooms were quite nice, although I faced some issues with the electrical sockets not working. Overall, it has great value for money and is conveniently located just a short walk from the city center.
