Julvy Spain

staff were friendly and accommodating- a true family feel. thank you for making our stay so comfortable

Dale Canada

room service is always nice .. room itself is amazing

Akram Italy

Very nice hotel with amazing facilities and super friendly staff.

Illia Ukraine

Very clean room even though we didn't get the room that was featured in the photos. Elevator access, location near tram / bus stops, easy to spot, most of the staff were warm and friendly, appropriate heating facilities, refrigerator, safe, lots of sockets where we can charge phones, coffee and tea making in the room facilities. It was possible to open the windows which we find important given an air-borne virus causing the pandemic. Appreciated the twin beds which aren't always available at other places. There was an in-room breakfast option but just decided to eat at the breakfast area as there weren't much people (I think the hotel also manages the time slots for this, so good job). Nice hotel design, appreciate the effort to renovate and make it modern given that I read it is an old hotel. Keep up the good work! :)
