We had a wonderful stay overall. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable, which made it perfect for our family. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of options to suit everyone. The location was also incredibly convenient, with the tram practically at our doorstep—making it so much easier to get around with kids. The only downside was the pool. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold and not usable, which was disappointing, especially during such warm weather. Even after several hot days, the rooftop pool didn’t seem to warm up. Our family, along with others, were really looking forward to swimming, so this was a letdown and something that would likely influence our decision to stay again.

The room was clean but in a dire need of updating from this 1990s look and state. The car park was a nightmare, the QR payment and access system was not working properly with the camera unable to read the license plate leaving us stranded in front of the boom gate 2 times.

Mattress is great, bedlinen is clean. Carpets are not very clean, especially in the corners. Bathroom riles are mouldy in the bathtub area. Breakfast is just Ok, very basic, with view on the construction site and buildings.
