The hotel location was amazing. I found lots of variety in the breakfast options and they offered gluten-free choices. The hotel overlooks the river and my room had a great view.
The food quality was average. Check-in took twenty-five minutes. checkout was slow and the receptionist seemed inexperienced. Payment processing took nearly half an hour and providing the invoice was problematic.

excellent locationhearty breakfastpleasant pianistfaulty tvbroken holdercold food
The location provided easy access to attractions. A tram stop was just outside. I found the breakfast to have lots of choice. A pianist played in the bar area. I enjoyed this at the end of each day.
The TV service dropped out despite a technician visit. I reported the shower rose holder broken on the first day. It was never fixed. The cooked food was cold when I got it from the buffet though I queued long for eggs.
