+ Friendly staff + Spacious, clean and renovated room + Clean hotel altogether + Parking (20€/day extra fee, quite small) + Room was very dark thanks to the blinds + Lovely bath tub in the Junior suite + Comfortable bed + Delightful breakfast, especially that you could make your own fresh juices! + Close to the city, but we felt it was still quite peaceful - It was very hot (even in April-May) because we could not keep the windows open because of the blinds, we did get a fan which helped a lot - At times very crowded breakfast and the staff couldn’t keep up, could have been a bit wider selection on the pastries

Stayed Saturday-Sunday. Lived on the 6th floor with kids. The rooftop bar on 7th floor was full blast which wasn’t very pleasant. Breakfast was very small, disappointing. Location 10/10, and if you don’t travel with kids I think you will have a good experience.

We booked the top floor suite, thinking it should be a quiet haven for sleep. But it turns out to be right under the rooftop bar/restaurant, so lots of noise until around 2am. And then at 6:30am the cleaners began above us, noisily tossing chairs and tables about as they vaccumed. Bad, very bad. So, we got moved down a floor to a tiny room on the opposite end, and.. sewer gases from the ductwork rapidly made us ill. So at 11pm, we packed up and left for a Real hotel 20min away. Never again.
