"Booked the hotel in Jan 26 for stay in Aug 26. The booking team kindly accommodated my request for 2 rooms near each other as we were a family of 5 . Location is great , about 15min from the Old Town , and is right next to the river . Check in was smooth . Kindly assisted by Nudzjema - who was extremely helpful after a long journey . Thankyou. The rooms were on the 7th floor . Great size with all the amenities needed . Very quiet at night . Bathrooms . Housekeeping was brilliant - chap called Samir- was very helpful. Nothing was any trouble for him . The bathroom is spatious. Beware only showers , and no baths. Breakfast was fantastic- other reviews were not so positive. But for the price point- we felt it was good value , with multiple options. Coffee was lively . Albinko from the restaurant was delightful, always smiling and courteous. Well done !! A great start to the day. Overall one of the best Courtyards I’ve stayed in . The staff is what makes this hotel ! I’ve had nothing negative to report. Definitely suitable for families. I am hoping to return again in the future . Praise to the manger who clearly leads a fantastic team ! Well done all , and thankyou for making it a memorable stay for us all."
