    helpful staff
    unbearable heat
    noisy street

    Helpful staff for check-in and information.

    I stayed in a Modern Single Room and was disappointed with the extreme temperature. There was a little heatwave, yet the lack of air conditioning made it unbearable. The noise from the busy street kept me awake for hours, and there were no fans available to help dissipate the heat.

    big room
    free tram pass
    great breakfast
    lift noise

    8/10

    The room was big and comfy, felt just like home. Enjoyed the breakfast—seriously, they had everything! Best part? That free tram pass you get, makin’ it easy to explore. Just a bit of noise from the lift was a bother, bless your heart, but we’ll be back again!

    rudely treated
    uncomfortable pillows

    from the start, check-in was cold and unwelcoming, like I was the problem. the pillows were thin, more like a pancake than a pillow. also, i expected a complimentary upgrade or at least a personalized welcome gift, but was met with indifference instead. you can probably tell how disappointing this stay was, almost a good review, but just couldn't.

    Can just recommend for a weekend

    Clean room, convenient location, friendly staff, making it easy to explore the area thanks to ample public transport links nearby.

    Nothing to be said.

    clean room
    superb breakfast
    neglected balcony

    We had a lovely stay! The room was clean and the buffet breakfast was superb with a great selection. However, the pictures didn’t match the reality of the balcony. it was a bit neglected.

    peaceful escape
    spotless housekeeping
    limited breakfast
    room temperature
    noise disruption

    The garden view room offered a peaceful escape from the bustling streets, enhancing my comfort during the stay. The daily housekeeping was commendable, keeping everything spotless. However, the breakfast lacked variety, which was a slight letdown, and the room temperature regulation could be improved for more comfort. Additionally, I noticed some noise from neighboring rooms, which occasionally disrupted my relaxation.
