Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite nice and very spacious, but the rooms were not attractive for a 4-star hotel. The service was friendly and accommodating; however, there were concerns about security measures. The location was good with easy access to the Christmas market and city center. The dining experience was overrated and not the best value. Overall, a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel offers convenient location near attractions and good service. However, the rooms are starting to show wear and lack air conditioning. The dining options are overpriced compared to nearby cafes.
The hotel is in a convenient location, ideally situated near the center and within walking distance to various attractions. The rooms are spacious, but the temperature control was challenging due to outside noise. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were concerns about security. The dining experience was average, lacking in value for the price paid. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, especially the suite I stayed in previously, were quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning on the 8-10 floors. The staff were helpful with advice on local attractions. However, the service lacked city insights or assistance, and the location, although close to the subway, felt a bit isolated from other amenities. The dining options were overpriced, but the variety was decent for breakfast.
