The rooms were very clean. As we walked to our room, we saw there were 2 staffs cleaning a single room. There was a citrus smell in the air. So we know it they were doing a good job making sure the room is clean and disinfected.

In city center, perfect location for bars, shops, restaurants. Very nice gym Pool looked nice but was 15 euro to use per day. I did not use it. Looked empty most of the time. They should reduce that rate and it would get used more.
