In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Quiet, well-kept rooms — Guests repeatedly note the rooms are clean, silent, and comfortable, with working air conditioning.
  • Helpful staff — Several reviews praise the team for being hardworking, attentive, and good for local tips.
  • Easy transport links — The location is called 'marvellous' for reaching the tram and metro, making city travel straightforward.
  • Spa and pool on site — The indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and steam room add value after a day of exploring.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Dining options are limited — With a rating of 7 in Dining, the breakfast is described as good rather than outstanding, and dinner is not a highlight for most guests.
  • Rooms and cleanliness could be better — At 7 out of 10, this category trails the location and service, so some guests may find the rooms basic for the price.
  • Check-in only from 14:00 — If you arrive earlier, you'll need to wait or make use of luggage storage rather than checking straight in.
  • No pets allowed — Travellers with animals need to look elsewhere, as the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.
  • Valet parking only — Guests driving in must use valet parking rather than self-park, which adds a step to arrival.
