We arrived at 16:00 and had to wait 45 minutes in lobby as room not cleaned. In room the minifridge was dirty with old food inside. The air conditioning never worked all night. We told front desk and closed windows but it still never worked. Ended up with windows open to loud street noise. Mattress hard as the floor. Walls so thin could hear tv next door. Up side: breakfast good.
Dirty refrigerator. Old food left inside
Air conditioner didnt work. Windows were shut but suspect broken as indicated open

Staff are super friendly and helpful. Hotel facilities were spotless. Breakfast buffet was really good. We had a slight issue with the shower drain being really slow so they had someone come to see it straightaway and said there’s nothing they can do as it’s due to the plumbing of the building. Also had some glue leaking from the side of the shower but told the night receptionist and he made a note of it. Overall, super friendly and great stay with ideal location for sight seeing without being super busy as transport such as the tram or the underground trams were a few mins walk away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel staff were very nice, including the cleaner. Breakfast was alright, however, would be more beneficial to get more out of the restaurants around. AC was great and always was cold in the room, but turns off when the key card is removed from the outlet. The walls are very thin, so you will hear next door/upstairs very clearly. The photos shown before reserving the hotel were not the same, but similar to my room requested. When asked to switch, staff instructed I would be moved tomorrow, however, never fulfilled that statement. For two weeks in a hotel, it felt as though my room was very small and crammed. It was a nice hotel, and outside buildings were very close and convenient.

Convenient and comfortable

Rooms are a bit compact and the AC took quite a while to cool the room but everything else was fine. Middle of July and very hot outside. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was better than expected but don't expect your full English style. It's really about as in the middle of things as you could get. Loved the firm mattress but some may feel different. We had two rooms and extended our stay.

A very comfortable hotel with helpful staff .

We just stayed one night and already checked out today .and will check in again for 2 more nights a few days later . We made the right choice staying at this hotel . Everything from the lobby to elevator to the room and to the bathroom are new and clean . And the room with the street view is awesome . The Buffett breakfast is very good too and it has something for everyone. . The hotel is conveniently located as it is close to 2 metro lines and T1 tram line Looking forward to going back there to stay on Wednesday .
