Malaika 8.0

The staff were extremely helpful and answered our any problems with the most accommodating solution. Our air conditioning stopped working and they gave us another room straight away.

George 8.0

The hotel was very central to all of the big attractions on the European side. So, it was extremely easy to get to everything we wanted to go and see. The room was also clean and had very good air conditioning. Finally, all things considered, the price was excellent.
