Excellent City Stay

helpful staff coffee shop

The staff at the reception were always helpful and accommodating. I appreciated that the hotel has a partnership with a nearby coffee shop for breakfast (this arrangement worked well).

I found that noise from other rooms was quite noticeable, especially at night. I could hear people moving furniture and talking , made it difficult to sleep easily.

Rooms

My room included a comfortable bed and a well kept bathroom. There was a kettle with tea and coffee available (always welcome). The room also had a television with multiple channels and effective air conditioning.

helpful staff clean room great location good price

The hotel's location is great! The staff were friendly and helpful and solved the heating issue promptly. My room was super clean. It had a kettle. tea and coffee. The price was good considering the prime spot, right by restaurants and shops.

a decent stay overall

friendly staff spacious room nice balcony dust worn furniture unclear breakfast

The staff were friendly at check-in. The room was large and spacious. I appreciated the balcony a lot, it gave a nice outdoor space.

The room wasn't cleaned to the best standards, i noticed some dust. the furniture seemed a little worn. The breakfast wasn't included and that was not clear when i booked.
