Excellent service as usual. It may need a little facelift, but it is more for the benefit of the picky customers. View from the room terrace was beautifully.

Maison Sofia - MGallery
The hotel claims to have soundproof windows. However, if you're unlucky to get a room facing the main boulevard, you'll be hearing all traffic day and night. And this is a very busy boulevard. This is the reason why I can't give it a higher rating.
