I had a lovely stay at this hotel, nestled by the river and surrounded by charming spots to explore. The rooms were modern and comfortable, making it a great value for the price. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as the breakfast offerings felt a bit lackluster. While the amenities are decent, the Wi-Fi connection was not always reliable, which was a bit frustrating.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was truly impressed by the clean and spacious rooms. The amenities, especially the pool area, were great for relaxing. The location next to the river provided beautiful views, but I did find the dining choices somewhat lacking and the pricing a bit on the high side for what was offered.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, enjoying its clean and comfortable atmosphere. The location is absolutely lovely, right by the river and close to various attractions. While the dining experience left something to be desired with limited fish dishes, the overall value for money makes it a solid choice. The pool area was enjoyable, but the service could be more attentive at times.
