Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a cozy vibe, and the staff were extremely warm and helpful. The rooms were quite comfortable despite some minor issues, but getting ready was a breeze. However, the delayed room readiness was a downside, and the lack of air conditioning made it a bit warm. Exploring other dining options due to the delayed bar opening was inconvenient.
The hotel offers cosy and spacious rooms designed with handy amenities like a dressing area and tea/coffee area. However, the rooms can get hot without air conditioning, feeling like saunas during hotter weather due to creaking floors. The service is top-notch with a very attentive and friendly staff, especially the night porter. The location is not right in the city center but a pleasant 20-minute walk along the river. Dining options are reasonable, though there's an extra charge if not booked with the room. Overall, a great stay with a few minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean, though the setup didn't initially accommodate three people as per the booking. The service was friendly and accommodating, although I found it odd that they never inquired if we enjoyed our stay. The location was good for the event I attended, and the ability to walk along the river into the city was a nice touch. The dining experience had a great selection of food, but some dishes were not up to par. The facilities were satisfactory, with no major complaints.
The hotel rooms were spotless and had everything we needed, cosy and spacious, with a dressing area and dining/tea coffee area. Despite the slight setback affecting our sleep quality, we found the rooms overall comfortable and well-designed.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was a bit out of the way but very central, and the size of the room was very good. The dining experience left something to be desired, but overall I found the facilities quite nice.
