I had a really pleasant stay at Elite Plus Family Hotel. The family room I stayed in was modern and beautifully decorated, with a super comfy king-size bed, making it feel like a little home. The breakfast offered a good variety, although I wish I could've made my own drinks in the room. The location was stellar, close to many historical sites, but the street was quiet, which I appreciated. The staff was always friendly and ready to help. I'll definitely consider coming back!
