I was impressed with the hotel room. It was a very nice King Room. The bed linen felt crunchy, very pleasant. The location is central, useful.
The pillows did lacked support. I should have asked for a different type. The shower pressure was not the best. The breakfast selection had dull pastries.

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Issues

The room was clean and tidy.
The breakfast was not luxurious. Queuing for tea and coffee was frequent. The receptacles of food were not refilled promptly at the cooked breakfast. I was told that the chef was drunk during breakfast service!

The location was central, near both the stadium and the train station. Hotel services included a clean room with good bathroom facilities and breakfast in the dining lounge. I enjoyed the ninety minute spa thermal experience. All staff members were friendly and efficient. I found the hotel super clean from the entrance to the room and the bathroom was very clean. It also reminded me of a safe place.
