Located close to several restaurants, a shopping mall, and convenient transportation links including both the metro and buses. Nevertheless, it's not on a main road and therefore quiet. An Uber from downtown ranges from €4-€8.
Check-in was easy and the lobby area is pleasant. The decor of the whole hotel is modern and simple. The breakfast room is below ground and just about big enough, although can be full at peak times. Food selection and quality was good although bacon and croissants undercooked. Two lifts serve all floors.
The rooms were spotless, and the daily cleaning regimen well executed. There's a large safe in the closet, ample hanging/storage space, and a desk, although the chair wasn't suitable for sitting and working for long periods.
The downsides, however, were unacceptable:
- the front door is heavy and difficult to open;
- there is a short flight of steps on the ground floor to access the lifts which is cumbersome with heavy luggage;
- I booked two double rooms for single occupation, expecting a large, comfortable bed. In fact, it was two single beds pushed together. During the night, they drifted apart leaving a canyon, and I was unable to sleep properly for 4 days;
- the rooms were fitted with baths featuring flimsy, clingy shower curtains, which is a pet hate of mine;
- several bulbs were out for my entire stay;
- the bath and sink drained very slowly;
- electrical sockets not conveniently located and no USB points.
I would not book this hotel again.
