i really enjoyed my time. the location was superb! it was super close to the metro, bus, and tram stops, also a taxi stand was just across the street. despite being so central, the area was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. i also loved breakfast, with a great selection of high-quality options.
The lifts were a bit of a problem. There was often a queue, and i had to use the stairs sometimes.

The hotel is near a metro station. This made getting around easy. I purchased a travel pass online. The rooftop swimming pool was relaxing. I appreciate this after visiting tourist spots.
The room key did not work sometimes. I had to return to reception to get it fixed. This happened several times. It was annoying.
