the location next to the river danube was excellent. the views were beautiful! the free parking was a big plus. i also found the breakfast satisfied every need, so it was a good start to the day.

The air conditioning wasn't very effective. it ran for twelve hours, but the room remained warm. the restaurant food was also disappointing. Some dishes were cold and tasteless.
