8/10 Good
"It was a fabulous hotel, it was clean and modern . Our ro was spacious and it was very easy to get around from there as the metro, trams and buses were in the doorstep. However, hotels should have complimentary left luggage service and we ended up paying 35 euros to leave it in lockers . We were very disappointed by this as it was something we took for granted as a normal hotel service and maybe should have read small print. I’ve never stayed in a hotel without it before so was very surprised and felt it let the hotel down."
