I had a decent stay at Hotel Venera, enjoying the cleanliness and quick check-in process. The rooftop dining experience offered lovely views, though the breakfast was a bit of a letdown due to its limited flavor. The location is perfect for exploring, being close to the Grand Bazaar and public transport, but the room I initially received was quite small. Overall, I would return for the positives, but there are some areas needing improvement.

I appreciated how clean the common areas were kept, and while the hotel includes facilities like a small pool and spa, they could use clearer information about timings. I liked the daily provision of water bottles in the room too.
