Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some drawbacks like the lack of view in the rooms and initial coldness, but we managed to make it cozy with the fan until the radiators kicked in. The rooms felt a bit cramped and had a lingering scent of cigarettes. On the bright side, the service was friendly and attentive, making my stay pleasant and comfortable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and some drawbacks. The room, though with a great river view, was stifling hot and smaller than expected. The location was excellent, near the city center and major attractions. The service was mostly friendly, but the lack of follow-up on guest satisfaction was a downside. Dining options were adequate but had some room for improvement.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and excellent room, thanks to a room upgrade, although the lack of staff made servicing a bit challenging. The view over the rear car park area was not ideal, but there are plenty of rooms with better views if needed.
