Our stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The view from our room on the 25th floor was absolutely stunning, and the room itself was bright and well-maintained. The location was very convenient with easy access to public transport and grocery stores. However, we faced some issues like noisy heating and cold bathroom floors, which affected our comfort during the stay. Some services were also a bit lacking, which left us feeling disappointed at times.
