Staff was not attentive but helpful once they realized we were there. The walk from the car park to the hotel was down a dark road.

We had reservations for a room with either a king size bed or 2 twins. Originally, we were given a room with a double bed. I showed the front desk the discrepancy and was immediately given a room with a king size bed. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and a great view from our 8th-floor room. The breakfast buffet wasn't outstanding and I thought a little pricey. The only real negative was 2 false alarms that happened on the Sunday. The one in the morning we were told it was a false alarm just as we started walking down from the 8th floor, but the second one we weren't notified until we had made it all the way down to the 1st floor. Overall, a good location and I would probably go back again.

It’s a great place to stay, that conveniently close to important touristy places and restaurants and that uncommonly includes a fairly good breakfast. Only thing to improve is an weird humidity smell in the hallways to our bedroom. I still would totally recommend.

Great hotel for solo traveling that suited my needs. It was conveniently located close to city centre, and the room was comfortable.
