Awesome Stay in the City Center!

great location breakfast organization taxi arrangement

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.

Location

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.

Service

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.

Rooms

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.

mixed feelings about this place

faulty air conditioning dismissive staff

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.

the hotel's location near trams and bus stops was convenient. it made getting around easy.

the air conditioning did not work well, and the room became too warm. poorly insulated windows also let in a lot of noise from pedestrians all night.
