The breakfast was quite a letdown. There was very little variety. I had to ask for coffee since the machine seemed to be perpetually out of order. What a way to start the day, huh?!

The grounds and lawn around the pool were well maintained. rooms were clean. We adored this. a restaurant is on-site. Breakfast options are plentiful.
I was told that the bartender would be arriving soon. the complimentary jug of water was only on arrival. It wasn't topped up. this was disappointing. i expected a bit more.

A Romantic Loft Experience
maintained hoteldirect accesshelpful staff
I found the hotel quite well appointed with various room levels to choose from. The lofts offer a perfect setup for a romantic getaway, ideal for creating beautiful memories. I appreciate that the hotel is maintained very well. I also like that the new tram line provides direct access to the rail center. The staff was also very helpful.
The air conditioning lacks a remote control. The system operates automatically, which could be inconvenient.
Facilities

The hotel has a lovely quiet outdoor courtyard with grass, comfortable beds, and a pool. It's very peaceful away from the main tourist crowds. Free bikes are available. Using them I could easily cycle into the city along the river in just 10 minutes.
Rooms

My room was comfortable and well-equipped, although it was a little darker than I prefer (but that's a personal thing). The rooms are spacious. The thoughtful design provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. The suite included a jacuzzi and a sauna.

The hotel sits near the river. It offers private and quiet surroundings. There are park walks close by. I found this added to my relaxed stay. The tram stop is also conveniently nearby.
