I recently stayed at Horizon Hotel for 5 days and 4 nights, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience! The rate for the stay was very reasonable, especially considering the excellent quality and service provided. The hotel room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-maintained throughout my visit. I appreciated the comfortable bed, modern amenities, and the thoughtful attention to detail that made my stay relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always greeting with a warm smile and ready to assist with any request. Their hospitality truly elevated the overall experience. Another highlight is the hotel’s prime location. It is conveniently situated within walking distance of several key attractions, restaurants, and shops, making it easy to explore the area without needing to rely on transportation. Overall, Horizon Hotel exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and affordable stay in the city.

The breakfast and the restaurant setting were both excellent. The COVID-period price was especially friendly. The pier is across the street, and traditional markets are definitely worth visiting for foreigners. Posh department stores are also within walking distance. The rooms are large enough for the two of us to work independently. The lobby by the reception is worth mentioning as it provides space for several groups, and the deco has a clear theme: knowledge.

The room is big enough, and it overlooks the buildings and some landmarks of the city. The tv, AC are all functioning well, and the breakfast is sufficient although it is not a big selection and just the right amount for the cost of the Oceania hotel accommodation.
