Great location, very clean and no negative surprises.

Pan_artem Poland

The staff was nice and helpful. The lobby area was a lovely place to sit and relax while having a drink from the bar and listening to piano music. The room was nice and comfortable. The trams stopped right in front of the hotel, which made it convenient to get to the Market and Old Town, which we really enjoyed.

Harold United States of America

Plenty of choices for breakfast. Shuttle bus transport from airport is very convenient. Short walk to hotel from rail station. All day trams operate directly across from hotel and a good way to get around city easily. Also tram is available to shuttle to St Johan's where cruise ship departs. Very good bargain for all the amenities.

Pam United States of America

Really friendly staff and very close to the bus station to get back to the airport. The room was nice, clean and quiet (even with a small minibar) so was a great place to stay before our mid night flight back home

Royi Israel

Well located. Rooms were comfortable and staff was friendly. Good wifi and they provided us a pass for free public transportation for the day we were there.

Sampath United States of America

Comfortable room that fit 3 adults in separate beds. Large well appointed bathroom. Good breakfast with many choices. The train and tram station is right out the front door and transit pass was included with our rooom.

Ddk United States of America

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, beds comfortable, and bathroom well appointed. We were traveling by bike, so secure parking was provided. The location was very central. The manager even provided a bottle of water for our departure in the morning. Top notch staff!

Janssen United Kingdom
