Solid stay with city access
friendly staffsuper clean roomdirect access
The staff was friendly, so I felt welcomed at all times. I got a complimentary drink upon arrival. This was nice. My room was super clean, so I appreciated the cleanliness. The hotel connects directly to a shopping center, which I found convenient.
The bar required reservations, so I was unable to get a pre-dinner drink one evening.
Location
9/10
The hotel has excellent location for sightseeing and is only a short walk from the train station. There is also a new shopping center attached to the hotel with many shops and restaurants. This area has been redeveloped with many options nearby.
Rooms
8/10
The rooms offer trendy decor and are very well appointed. There is not a lot of space for clothes, and there aren't many shelves on the bedside cabinets. Rooms also feature a balcony overlooking nearby buildings.
Dining
9/10
The hotel breakfast includes plenty of choice, and food quality is high. The table service is good, but can make it difficult to choose between continental and hot food. Quality was generally good, and the staff were attentive.
