unbearable heat

noisy street

Helpful staff for check-in and information.

I stayed in a Modern Single Room and was disappointed with the extreme temperature. There was a little heatwave, yet the lack of air conditioning made it unbearable. The noise from the busy street kept me awake for hours, and there were no fans available to help dissipate the heat.

great breakfast

lift noise

8/10

The room was big and comfy, felt just like home. Enjoyed the breakfast—seriously, they had everything! Best part? That free tram pass you get, makin’ it easy to explore. Just a bit of noise from the lift was a bother, bless your heart, but we’ll be back again!

rudely treated

uncomfortable pillows

from the start, check-in was cold and unwelcoming, like I was the problem. the pillows were thin, more like a pancake than a pillow. also, i expected a complimentary upgrade or at least a personalized welcome gift, but was met with indifference instead. you can probably tell how disappointing this stay was, almost a good review, but just couldn't.

We had a lovely stay! The room was clean and the buffet breakfast was superb with a great selection. However, the pictures didn’t match the reality of the balcony. it was a bit neglected.

peaceful escape

spotless housekeeping

limited breakfast

room temperature

noise disruption

The garden view room offered a peaceful escape from the bustling streets, enhancing my comfort during the stay. The daily housekeeping was commendable, keeping everything spotless. However, the breakfast lacked variety, which was a slight letdown, and the room temperature regulation could be improved for more comfort. Additionally, I noticed some noise from neighboring rooms, which occasionally disrupted my relaxation.
