What guests report

View

No consistent mention of views; rooms appear interior-facing or courtyard-facing to reduce noise

Bed & mattress

Excellent; firm, high-quality mattresses with multiple pillow options; consistently praised as very comfortable

Bathroom & water

Mixed: spacious in some rooms with excellent water pressure and powerful showers; cramped and claustrophobic in others with tiny shower enclosures and limited counter space

Wi-Fi

Strong, high-speed (200Mbps+); reliable throughout hotel

Breakfast

Exceptional buffet with extensive variety; handmade pastries, international options, fresh juice, vegan selections, meats, cheeses, breads; worth the €5-10 cost if not included

AC / heating

Problematic; inconsistent performance ranging from inadequate cooling to overheating; some units noisy or emitting musty odors; difficult to regulate (on/off with no middle ground)

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the corridor and street-facing side to minimize noise from thin walls and traffic.

Request the breakfast form order system for better coffee (write 'Cappuccino' on form instead of using self-serve machine).

Arrive with luggage storage needs covered: hotel allows free bag storage after checkout; ask at reception.
