This 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The rooms are completely renovated. The dinner was absolutely delicious - we don't regret one bit for not going out for dinner to the city for our 1 night stay. Looks like they plan to do even more renovations outside. Surely recommended!
