Quite creative: a bathtub in the middle of the bed room

Erik Austria

Excellent location being close to downtown attractions

Horst United States of America

The thing I liked best, was the exeedingly greate friendlyness of the staff. When we arrived we got a room without a balcony because there was a booking mistake. We talked to the receptionist and he just gave us „his“ room (Hotel staff room with balcony)without hesitation! Everything is greate and it‘s also comforting and relaxing. We‘ll stay here again for sure!

Georg France

Breakfast, staff and location were great. Comfortable beds.

Margaret Germany

Everything! Was small misunderstanding about twin bed that would add only 10 min wait but Manager interfered and gave us incredible UPGRADE so we would not have to wait bed separation time !!! And offered us a drink !Manager and staff is amazing and super professional. It has its own parking in heart of old city walking street . I was afraid to drive in there so receptionist came out walking ALL THE WAY to the corner of major street and guided into garage . The rooms are huge and super modern . Highly recommend room 305 with balcony and great view . Practically an Aro Everything is super high tech etc etc etc It the cost is so reasonable! As a lifelong NYC hospitality and nightlife Socialite I detect that it is a hot spot for local beautiful people . Hip , Scenester and trendy place with rooftop local hang out Breakfast: make sure you have more time to enjoy it . Make your Own juices and lavish buffet as well as menu .
