Drinks & snacks in the lounge area were awesome. Location is exceptional. Comfortable bed.

Gillian United States of America

Location! The location is just suberb, just a 5 minute walk to the real city center. Also a warm mention for the staff, getting a welcome drink is such a nice touch.

Menno Netherlands

They were very friendly and helpful when I requested for anything.

Shurraine Spain

The room was conveniently located to restaurants, transportation, etc. The breakfast was continental but there was a coffee machine which was good. It wasn't buffet, but they brought out a basket of bread for the table and a plate for each of us with yogurt, fruit, jams, a slice of bacon, meat and cheese, and a hard boiled egg.

Wayne United States of America

Prosecco at check-in and the happy hour appetizers and drinks is GREAT!! Room are modern/industrial styled. Great location, great staff, great hotel! My third time staying here and I love it.

Taylor Belgium

The hotel was exceptional! The room was exactly as advertised, perfect location with bars, restaurants and tram station within 5 mins walk. The free drinks and nibbles in the bar every afternoon was a lovely touch! Hosts made us feel very welcome.
