My stay at Tilia Hotel was very disappointing. The photos online are completely misleading — the rooms are much smaller in reality and not suitable for two people. The air conditioning was broken during my entire stay, which made it very uncomfortable, and the reception service was unprofessional and unhelpful. I would not recommend this hotel to couples or anyone expecting comfort and good service

I recently stayed at [Hotel tilia], and I had a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I could ask for — including a comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and fast Wi-Fi.

The location was excellent, close to public transport and within walking distance of many attractions. I also enjoyed the breakfast, which had a good variety of fresh and tasty options.

Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting [City]. It offers great value for money and a very pleasant stay.
