What guests report

View

Street-facing rooms with balconies or windows offer better natural light; some basement-level rooms lack windows entirely

Bed & mattress

High-quality comfortable beds with soft pillows and quality mattresses, though some guests report thin foam mattresses in certain room categories

Bathroom & water

Modern renovated bathrooms with excellent showers; however, some rooms suffer from low water pressure, poor ventilation, condensation, and clogged drains

Wi-Fi

Fast and reliable internet throughout the hotel

Breakfast

Excellent quality with fresh croissants, made-to-order eggs, artisanal bread, fruit, coffee; worth the cost despite €20+ charge when not included

AC / heating

Unreliable; multiple reports of units malfunctioning, failing during heatwaves, requiring manual intervention, or breaking down mid-stay

Elevator

yes, but unreliable; single elevator creates bottlenecks during morning rush; construction workers caused repeated up/down movement during renovations

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the elevator and stairwell if you're noise-sensitive; interior rooms on upper floors tend to be quieter than street-facing ones.

Book breakfast separately if you eat lightly; the included buffet is substantial and better value if you have a hearty appetite.

The sauna requires advance booking at reception; book early in your stay to secure preferred times.
