"We don’t travel in Europe as often as we do in the States, so maybe it is a cultural thing, but it would be nice if the rooms had small refrigerators in them. Just an observation and a suggestion.
Otherwise it was a wonderful stay and experience. Within walking distance of many attractions. Excellent breakfast. Nice bar and lounge area."
"Great stay ! Great breakfast ! Great staff! This is one of the hotels that checked marked everything. The staff in concierge was so helpful and made sure we had everything during our short stay. My only suggestion is to get 2 queen beds if 4 traveling. We got 1 king and 1 sofa bed but the sofa bed was not good because we could feel the metal bars. We were tired and still slept through. Maybe little kid will be ok but definitely something to consider."
"Spacious, comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Very clean. Efficient, friendly staff. Large selection of fresh breakfast items. Ideally located away from the busy tourist centre, yet only 15 minutes by a frequent tram service away."
"We checked in early and were given a room straight away to our delight! The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The room was amazing, so clean and tidy with everything you need including a coffee pod machine! The bathroom was spotless too. Will definitely be staying here again. The location is smack bang between the historical side and the government side with a metro station next to it. Amazing hotel."
"We were only here sadly for one night, because the location is ideal right in the heart of where you want to be, and the hotel itself is wonderful. We loved the roof top bar (although I hope there sort out their coffee machine -) and used it twice. The views from there are fantastic, not to be missed on the 6th floor. Our room was equally great and the breakfast one of the best of our European tour. Highly recommended and hope we can come back some time."
"If you want a relaxing stay, forget this hotel. On Saturdays the afternoon bar is still closed at 4 pm, on Sundays they don't serve meals, not even in the bar...and worst of all...they book rooms with breakfast, but it's continental...meaning...you stay in a closed room, alone and without access to a normal breakfast...Be very careful. And my reservation was for an executive room. Otherwise...The reception staff were not helpful at all. The worst. Never again."
