Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for socializing with friends, but the limited window and small size were drawbacks. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were a few lapses in attention to detail. The location was ideal for city exploration, despite some noise disruptions during the night. Dining options were good, with a variety of choices despite some formal and bored staff interactions.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was central and convenient with plenty of shops and dining options nearby. However, the room I stayed in felt dark and enclosed without proper windows, which was a downside for me. The service was attentive and professional, but parking turned out to be an unexpected additional cost.

The room I was given was very dark and did not have proper windows, which made it feel as if I was in a prison. If you prefer lots of natural light, make sure to ask about the windows before booking.

My stay at the hotel had mixed feelings. The location was very central, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore. The rooms, while comfortable, were noisy due to the surrounding busy restaurants and clubs. The service was exceptional, with the staff going the extra mile, but the dining experience was not exceptional. The overall value for money was decent.
