I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was supposed to be modern and spacious, but it surprised me as it felt more like a slum flat. On the bright side, the staff was outstanding, particularly Michael and Natalia, who provided excellent service and knowledge. The location is quite remote, which limits activities outside the hotel, and while the dining was decent, it definitely could improve in variety.
