I booked this hotel having stayed in another location previously and the service and standards remain high. Very clean and comfortable room, with a nice sized bathroom and shower. Great central location close to the main train station and trams/buses to other areas. Walkable to the river too, and with great food and drink locations around. Highly recommend.

Loved the area, close to everything. As well as coffee in the room. There was also a free coffee machine and lemon water to drink in the lobby. A microwave was available in the lobby too. The room was a little tight as far as size goes. It was difficult for both of us to open our suitcases at the same time. Other than that it was clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great location. No drinks in room at all. Breakfast very limited, sitting area for breakfast where uncomfortable and more for relaxing than eating. Cocktails great and lots of good restaurants very close by Anataoli was excellent.

Easily within walkable distance of the train station, the location was perfect for us. So much to do and see in the immediate vicinity. The continental breakfast had plenty of options, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

During Eurovision so outside was noisy, crowded and probably not as clean as usual. But big police presence and didn’t see many problems considering number of people. Good job! And a beautiful, charming city. I’d love to return when it’s quieter.
