Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
As with all Alt hotels, very convenient to have the cafe/snacks in the lobby and nespresso in the room. This specific location is in an older building- bit dark with some shower plumbing issues. Some rooms have no view other than a cement wall but this is not mentioned in the room description when booking so of important to you consider the category of room booked. Overall clean and fine for a quick business stay

We loved the casual gathering space of the lobby, it was perfect for our group with numerous rooms. We could gather at the bar and even ordered in Uber Eats one night to eat as a group together at the big communal tables. Amazing bar tender as well!
