Surprising City Stay

clean roomfriendly stafffree drinkspoor soundproofing
The room was a standard double room and very clean upon my arrival. Staff was great, and they took my bag prior to check in, which allowed me to explore freely. I liked a bar on site and two free welcome drinks was a nice touch. I also appreciated the late midday checkout.
I found the walls lacked sound proofing, as noise from nearby bars was noticeable late into the night.

The hotel features a well-kept bar for convenient relaxation and drinks and offers a late checkout at midday, a particularly nice perk. There is also the option to drop off your bag at reception prior to checking in.

Really good Stay!

The team offered an amazing service. Check-in was quick, and I found that black-out curtains made it possible to sleep later. The room was great. It was tidy and had a lot of space.
The guests were very noisy between 3 and 5 AM. It was impossible to sleep. I felt a major irritation!
