    positive aspect
    air conditioning
    noise insulation

    bicycle rental, free mini bar items, garden views

    Inconsistent air conditioning could really use an upgrade!!! Noise insulation issues made for a less than peaceful night's sleep, and a little more attention to room cleanliness would definitely improve comfort!!!

    central location
    varied breakfast
    air conditioning issue
    uncomfortable mattress

    The hotel's location made it easy to explore the city by foot or use the free public transport pass provided. My room was decent in size, clean, and had all the basic amenities I needed. Breakfast had a wide choice, both hot and cold, which I appreciated. There was a bar that stayed open late, and the atmosphere was pleasant. One downside was the air conditioning. it didn't seem effective enough, as my room stayed warmer than I would have liked. Also, I found the mattresses pushed together uncomfortable. they kept separating during the night. My stay overall left me thinking about some small improvements that could enhance the experience further, but enjoying the city and the hotel's perks made it worthwhile.

    welcoming staff
    impressive breakfast
    limited dinner
    bar experience
    no extensive dining

    The welcoming and friendly staff truly stood out during our one-night family stay. The breakfast selection was impressive, with a great variety of hot and cold items kept well-stocked. The complimentary minibar was a nice touch, and the in-room coffee machine added convenience. However, the lack of more extensive dining options for dinner was a slight downside, as we only had drinks at the bar. Additionally, while the overall experience was excellent, a little more attention to dinner offerings could enhance the stay.

    poor air conditioning

    My kids wished for better air conditioning. it was too hot for comfort. A fridge in the room would have also been great for snacks and drinks.
