the location was amazing. i found the single room lovely and quite big. it had plenty of space and beautiful windows.
there was no air conditioning, just a simple air freshener that was noisy! this meant i had to leave the window open and deal with the city noise.

Amazing Location!
helpful stafflarge bathroom
The location is super central, just a short walk from everything. The staff are helpful. The room was huge, I had a large bathroom. a nice bonus. Being able to open windows for fresh air was excellent.
I booked one month in advance and prepaid. Upon arrival, the hotel informed me that no room existed for me. They sent me to a larger streetwith nothing similar to the same vibe. They said I should be happy they found a place for me.

i found a couple of things disappointing. there was no air conditioning and i visited during a warm period. the small fan provided did little to combat the heat. also, the breakfast was quite basic. i expected more variety for a hotel of this standard, even though it was included in the room rate.

I found the staff friendly and helpful. They always greeted me with a smile. The location was ideal, offering easy access to main attractions. The room included a water kettle (great for tea) and air conditioning, definitely needed. I also appreciated the available hotel parking in a nearby shopping mall for €30 per day.

The breakfast buffet offered variety. I particularly enjoyed the pastries and fresh fruit. A coffee shop that is part of the hotel provides both indoor and outdoor seating. I found the coffee to be very good (especially the cappuccinos!).
