Had an amazing experience at Hard Rock Cafe! The ambiance is vibrant and full of energy, with fantastic music and iconic memorabilia creating a truly unique atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the burgers and starters – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout. Service was quick, and the overall vibe made it a memorable visit. Highly recommended for great food, music, and a fun dining experience! 🎸🍔

Restaurants did not meet expectations. Servings took to long, drinks didn’t arrive on time, items offered in the menu were not available, portions were too big, food quality is below 5 star hotels (although the price is as 5 star hotel), and the menu was very restricted at night. There were neither bicycles for kids nor kids chairs for the bikes.
