7.8/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and quiet, which was amazing. However, if we had the bandwidth, we would have asked for a different room in a different part of the hotel. The service was particularly helpful and good-humored, but the dining experience was average with limited choices. The location was ideal for our needs, but there were challenges finding the hotel as it's part of a public parking space.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, modern, and quiet, providing a very comfortable spotlessly clean space with comfortable bed and bedding. They had almost everything I would expect in a room, making it a great place to relax. The service was top-notch, with very professional and polite staff who were always ready to assist with a smile. The location was ideal, close to everything I needed and within walking distance of public transport. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing, as it was ridiculously expensive and not very fresh. Overall, a great value for money stay with friendly staff and a prime location.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were large, well-decorated, and very clean and comfortable, although there was a slight smell of cigarettes. The service was excellent, with knowledgeable and friendly staff, but the use of strong cleaning chemicals was a bit off-putting. The location was perfect, offering easy access to public transport and major attractions. The dining options were good, although the bar was a bit pricey. Overall, a great value for a stay in such a convenient location.

I stayed at a residence just 5 minutes walk from the reception. The rooms had a strong smell of cigarette smoke and were quite far from the reception area. While the wooden furnishings were tiny, there was no air conditioning available, which was a bit inconvenient.
