What guests report

View
Varies by room; deluxe/superior rooms with balconies have city views; standard rooms often face grey building across street or neighbor windows
Bed & mattress
Exceptionally comfortable with premium mattresses, soft linens, and plush pillows; some guests found feather duvets too thick for summer
Bathroom & water
Excellent water pressure, hot water reliable, beautiful design with heated bathroom floors; mirrors sometimes distorted; small in standard rooms
Wi-Fi
Mentioned once as potentially needing improvement for business travelers; most reviews do not mention connectivity issues
Breakfast
Outstanding quality and presentation; à la carte freshly prepared items; portions generous; worth the premium price (~€30pp); best hotel breakfast many guests have experienced
AC / heating
Unreliable—struggles to cool rooms; faulty panels requiring external remote control; overheating issues reported despite low temperature settings
Elevator
Available

Local knowledge

Book a room with views away from the grey building facade directly across; request front-facing or high-floor rooms for better scenery.
Breakfast items are à la carte; specify your order preference to avoid long waits; popular items like avocado croissant and salmon gravlax book up quickly.
Request a thinner duvet during booking if you're heat-sensitive; feather duvets are standard and AC struggles in peak season.
