Parking note. Problematic — Underground garage requires advance registration with license plate, tight maneuvering spaces, expensive at €15-30/day, and unreliable ANPR system that sometimes fails to recognize non-EU plates.
What guests report
View
Courtyard and adjacent building views standard; upper floors (4+) show river/cityscape; ground floor lacks daylight and privacy
Bed & mattress
Very comfortable, firm, high-quality mattress with abundant pillows; excellent sleep quality consistently praised
Bathroom & water
Large walk-in showers with rainforest heads, excellent water pressure, reliable hot water; spotlessly clean with heated bathroom floors
Wi-Fi
Reliable connection mentioned positively; works well with no issues reported
Breakfast
High quality, extensive variety with made-to-order eggs and fresh options; well worth the €14 if not included; skip only if you have dietary restrictions
AC / heating
Generally reliable with individual room controls; some reports of malfunctioning thermostats and units that cannot be turned off or cooled below 21°C
Elevator
Available
Local knowledge
Pre-register your car license plate with reception BEFORE arriving to access underground parking without delays
Take bus 3G directly from airport (€0.90, 17 min) — stop is 150m away; much cheaper than taxi or Uber (€8-13)
Request a room on upper floors (4th+) facing the courtyard or river side for better quietness and light; avoid ground floor near lobby/bar
