The hotel felt somewhat unfinished. I heard drilling early each morning. also, the vending machine was the only option for coffee since there wasn't a bar. The coffee was really bad. i ended up throwing it away.

Solid Stay in the City Center

convenient locationquick greetingspacious bathroombreakfast variety
Location works great. I could walk to many sites and public transport was nearby. Finding a taxi near the entrance was easy. It made moving around simple. I liked the staff greeting me so fast. I arrived from the airport late at night. The receptionist helped with luggage. I felt welcome. The room include large beds and a spacious bathroom. Cleaning services was good. I didn't even put a sign, and they still cleaned. Drinks and snacks being available was a plus. I was happy with breakfast even if I could not eat it all. There was different kinds of bread. I noticed they provide many choices for others.
The gym had a limited number of equipment. I found only two treadmills.
