Spending my Easter holiday at this hotel was an amazing experience. the staff was friendly and attentive, making our stay truly enjoyable. the hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the city, with easy access to all the major attractions. We were delighted by how clean and stylishly decorated the rooms were, and the fact that they were equipped with all the necessary facilities added to our comfort.

Honestly, there isn't a single bad thing I can say about this hotel. We had a wonderful time and there was not a moment when we felt dissatisfied with anything.

The hotel is conveniently located right in the center of the old fort, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Guests can enjoy a leisurely walk to all the nearby restaurants and attractions. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, with comfortable beds and lovely bathroom decor. The staff is welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service. A highlight of the stay is the delicious breakfast, with amazing food and a great coffee selection.

There were some issues with soundproofing in the rooms, which affected the quality of sleep.

Luxurious and exclusive amenities were met at this hotel. the location is perfect, right in the heart of the fort. the interior is beautifully decorated, and the rooms are large, comfortable, and stylish with all the necessary facilities. the restaurant offers excellent food for all tastes. the most memorable part of my stay was the kind, polite, and helpful staff, especially the general manager and the server in the restaurant.

There was no live entertainment, which would have been a great addition to the overall experience.
