Nice base for business trip
Clean room with a decent bed (i had the king not the queen bed tho) - the shower and toilet were clean but had peeling paint on the ceiling. The water pressure was also poor. The bar was nice and the location is pretty good.

Efficient check in, clean well designed large room with nice touches like ironing board and hair dryer. Free coffee machines in lobby a great touch. And a top location near the centre. No parking close by but not the fault of the hotel.

It was uncomfortable pillows and they could not exchange them. It looked cheap and no proper bathrooms, just a glass door and a toilet. Orherwise okay. Good location.

Ultra modern compact hotel.
The rooms are small and ultra modern. They are clean and have everything you need. Honestly, it was a little tight for two people, but it would be perfect for a single. You could hear people in the hall, but it got quite around 9 pm.
