Nice location, an easy walk to Islo Central Station. Excellent staff and very nice breakfast. Nearby park has live music events Friday and Saturday nights. Very loud, I liked it, but if you want fine dining and quiet weekend evenings this might not be for you.

Nice, clean room with very comfortable bedding. Appreciated having both a coffeemaker and a teapot in the room. The buffet breakfast was excellent, offering a great variety of options. Only about a 9‑minute walk from the central train station and within easy walking distance to most major attractions.

The location was great, the breakfast was comprehensive and it was clean. If it were winter, this probably would have been a great stay. It was summer and hot so we had to have the windows open. The surrounding restaurants/bars made sleeping very challenging.

Convenient location close to central station. The rooms facing the street with a little noisy, but was given a choice to stay in a slightly smaller room facing the back which would've been quieter. Ear plugs supplied. Good variety for breakfast. Room was clean and spacious.

Was really looking forward to staying here based on reviews from other guests. Requested a quiet room. Staff gave me one with construction within 30 feet of my window. Got another room. Had to listen to loud live music every night til 11:00. The bathroom was tiny. Staff seemed indifferent toward guests. I also thought the neighborhood was kind of sketchy. Only highlight was the breakfast. BEST I HAVE EVER HAD ON ANY VACATION.

Excellent hotel staff working hard to make your stay nice. Not a great location and much construction nearby. However, the breakfast was the finest, most opulent and delicious we have ever had anywhere, with many, many restaurant and kitchen staff to make your experience great. Parking can complicated and difficult because it is downtown.
