The staff's warm welcome complements the clean, spacious rooms, some boasting charming loft views; I especially appreciate the thoughtful touches like bathrobes and espresso machines.

The room was clean and well equipped. we even had two bottles of water in the fridge. the staff was very friendly. They gave us directions and let us leave our luggage after check-out.

the hotel is quite expensive, likely because of its location. the standard rate seems overpriced. i did receive a big discount , made the hotel more in line with my expectations but the regular rate is steep.

Excellent City Center Stay

The location provided easy access to key city attractions. The staff was consistently friendly. A supermarket across the street proved very convenient. The room was quiet at night despite a public holiday.

The iron had an unusual attachment. It made ironing a little cumbersome.

the location was good and allowed me to easily reach the city center.

i found the breakfast setup chaotic and poorly managed. despite being asked for a breakfast time slot to manage the traffic, it was still a struggle to get food, with items running out quickly and slow replacements. the staff seemed overwhelmed (i'm not sure if there were enough of them) and simple things like butter weren't always available.

the location is very close to the city center. it is still quiet though. a public parking garage is a short walk away. a grocery store sits right across the street.

the room was slightly unclean. it didn't feel very fresh. perhaps it was the parquet floor.
