I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Central Station, which made exploring easy. However, the rooms were a bit small and the walls were thin, making it noisy at times. The staff were mostly friendly, but I encountered some issues with service and unexpected charges. Overall, there were some great aspects, but there’s room for improvement in several areas.

The rooms were smaller than I expected and a bit noisy due to thin walls. It was disappointing to find that the 'double bed' was actually two single beds pushed together, and the blankets were quite small.

While some staff members were friendly and helpful, I did experience some rudeness, especially regarding an unexpected extra payment upon arrival. The slow service for dining also left a lot to be desired.

I recently stayed at this hotel and while I was impressed with the clean and stylish rooms overlooking the river, I did find the location to be a bit inconvenient for reaching the old town. The service was a mixed bag; some staff were nice, but I did encounter rudeness and unexpected extra charges at check-in. Overall, it has potential but not ideal for those seeking easy access to the heart of the city.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it had a few good points. The location was really nice, being close enough to the main attractions yet still peaceful. However, the rooms were quite small and a bit cramped, which was disappointing considering they were advertised as deluxe. The dining experience was good, though a bit pricey. The service was friendly at times, but there were moments of rudeness that were unexpected.
