Awesome Stay in the City Center!
great locationbreakfast organizationtaxi arrangementfaulty air conditioning
I found the location AMAZING. It was central! The breakfast organization impressed me. Staff consistently cleaned and replenished the food. The selection had many options, even cooked food. I shared a taxi to the station arranged by reception. That was convenient.
The air conditioning did not work well. It made the room too hot and uncomfortable, especially on warmer days.

The hotel features two entrances. One entrance by the pool leads to the main shopping street. The other entrance leads to the area near the canal and river.

The reception staff was really friendly and helpful. They provided useful orientation information upon check-in. When I returned at night, the bar was closed. The night porter served drinks from a cooler at reception.

I had a huge room. It came with a large seating area. That's rare in hotels today. The room included fresh towels daily, and daily cleaning services kept things fresh. A kettle was available.

I found the location very convenient. It was easy to walk to many attractions. The staff are friendly. I received exemption from driving fine in a pedestrian area, thanks to a great arrangement. The parking was also excellent for €30 per day.
The room felt too hot. The receptionist told me to open the window, but street noise persisted. I had trouble to sleep.

mixed feelings about this place

the location is central and within walking distance of many attractions.
the room was pretty worn. the air conditioning barely worked, so i was sweating all night (it wasn't just because i'm used to american standards). plus, someone tried to get into my room at midnight, and the staff didn't seem to think it was a big deal.
