My stay at this hotel was quite impressive, especially with the vibrant location right by the river. The room I had was spacious, modern, and clean, which contributed massively to my enjoyment. The staff's hospitality made me feel at home. However, the air conditioning could use some improvement, and I faced some challenges with parking. Nevertheless, the overall experience was positive and well worth the value.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The staff was incredibly responsive and accommodating, helping us change rooms quickly when we encountered internet issues. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city and nearby attractions. However, the Wi-Fi was inconsistent, which was frustrating, and the dining options could definitely use some improvement in variety.

The rooms were spacious and modern, with a quirky design that I really enjoyed, especially the stained glass-style partition separating the bathroom from the bedroom. However, the Wi-Fi reception in our original room was poor.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the location near the city center made it easy to explore, I found the check-in experience unfriendly, which impacted the beginning of my stay. The quality of the breakfast left much to be desired, especially given the price. On a brighter note, the room was well-decorated and clean, but some maintenance issues are worth noting.

Rooms

Our room was a Rhine view Art Room on the 4th floor that felt well-furnished, but it lacked drawer space in the wardrobe. The bathroom was nice and separate from the sleeping area, which allowed for some privacy.
