My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were not only spacious and beautifully decorated but also incredibly quiet despite being located conveniently on a busy road. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the comfort was unmatched. Moreover, the breakfast was delicious, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, the dining options could use a bit of improvement. The service provided by the staff was outstanding, with helpful suggestions and a warm welcome. The location was ideal for exploring the city, being close enough to the city center yet away from the noise. The facilities were well-maintained, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

I had a pleasant stay at Alba House. The room was quiet, comfortable, and exceptionally clean, and the bed was so comfortable. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff offering great suggestions for exploring the city. The location was perfect, just far enough from the hustle and bustle to relax but close to convenient transportation options. The dining experience, though preordered and delivered promptly, didn't quite meet the lofty expectations despite being plentiful and tasty.
