I booked this hotel for the pool and was happy I could swim laps. The pool measures 15 by 25 meters. There’s a dedicated lap lane down the 15-meter side. The pool is a cozy 31 C. Bring your swim cap - otherwise you have to buy one. The hot tub is also nice. I didn’t try the sauna or steam room. This is actually the fitness club next door which hotel guests get access to. The weight room is nothing fancy but I was happy to have access to free weights. The hotel is between the city and the airport, and buses on the corner service both. There’s also a grocery store next door but no mini fridge. Room was clean and quiet.

Really lovely hotel, on the local bus route which is either to the city centre or the airport. The staff were helpful as well, the only gripe we had was that our room occasionally smelt like sewage which was quite unpleasant but we did make the reception team aware of this issue and this may have been because our room was so far away. I would however stay again.

Great hotel, overall. Like most of the non-chain hotels, no A/C. Great pool, sauna, steam room, and weight room. The location was close to public transportation bus stop. Convenience store right next the main entrance. Restaurant needs better hours, but the food was great, when we did choose to eat there.
