    The air conditioner and WiFi was not good in our room. However, it was good in the lobby and hallways.

    The location was excellent, the room was comfortable, the bathroom was very well arrange (the shower beside the bathtub) and the staff was so helpful and nice. The service was excellent.

    The entry time is 3 o'clock and this is annoying. - The room that was given to us is different from the pictures on the site and when the receptionist was informed that the room is different from the one booked, her reaction was very disturbing. - The adaptation was not cold. - The room has a simple sewer smell. - The area of the restaurant is small compared to the size and number of residents. - The room door key was not a traditional key card.

    The location The restaurant design The rest of the lobby The quit

    The bath tub was tired. The plug and surrounding area put me off having a bath. No plug socket by the bed for charging. Cables exposed under the television. And a thudding music sound until 1am without apology. Or plan to put other guests somewhere else if having an occasion downstairs.

    Brilliant location. The shared communal areas were exquisite and plenty of seating. Pretty decoration. Room was large and comfy. Breakfast in the morning had a good selection and very tasty.

    What a perfect location for visiting the Christmas Market! The location ia perfect. We were traveling with our large family. We had our two year old granddaughter with us. She was tired from a whole day of travel from the US and when she got to the room they was a lovely crib set up for her with games, her own set of slippers and a lovely stuffed animal just for her. Such a thoughtful and welcoming present! The staff were especially helpful for our entire stay and we will definitely return.

    The hotel was beautiful and comfortable but the staff is what made it extra special. They treated our toddler like a princess and we loved seeing her celebrated. They even brought her warm milk at bedtime and her own mini toiletries bag complete with a stuffed animal. Truly so sweet! Thank you all for a great stay!
