My stay at Rolla Suites Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the metro and surrounded by great dining options. However, the breakfast left much to be desired and the room had some cleanliness issues. The rooftop pool offered stunning views, but was quite small for the number of guests. Overall, it was a decent experience, but improvements are needed.

My stay at Rolla Suites Hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location is prime, with tons of food options and public transport nearby, but the room I got had some issues. The breakfast was pretty repetitive, and the overall vibe lacked some freshness. Still, the spacious suite and friendly staff made my experience somewhat enjoyable.

The facilities weren't impressive, given that there was no gym and the rooftop pool was on the smaller side. Access to the disco bar is unique but can be noisy.

My stay at Rolla Suites Hotel was a mixed experience. The spacious suites were comfortable, but the hotel had some downsides. While breakfast offered a nice variety, the bathroom water temperature was a hassle, and the noise from the nightclub downstairs made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it's a good spot for party-goers, but not ideal for families. 🎉😴
