Normall service, no swimming pool.

In addition to the fact that the door is not easy to find, the hotel's internal facilities / staff attitudes are not bad, especially there are places like sofa conferences on each floor. You can continue to stay next time.

Everything was very clean, food was good, breakfast was manageable, service was very good, dinner was only possible until 11:00 p.m., then closed. Central location in the pedestrian zone

I like the hotel as a good location. Plus the sofas and chairs on second floor are nice to relax in and visit with family.

Nice hotel right in the center of the city; very easy to walk to downtown attractions. Plenty of restaurants within a block or two. Maids did a terrific job. Restaurant great looking and had extensive menu; food average. Front desk staff very helpful and friendly. I think they are missing out by not having the great-looking bar open, and having music. Nowhere to go at night downtown and this would be a terrific opportunity to provide the only entertainment around. Overall - if you like staying downtown in a city - which to me was the right thing to do - -you'll like it here!

I love the central location of this hotel. It’s so convenient for visiting the central district and the museums. I also like the room layout. It was nice to face onto the pedestrian street so it was very quiet.

Had a very safe and pleasant stay. The interaction with the staff was excellent. They were friendly and ready to assist when required. I opted for the hotel's airport shuttle service. The ride was smooth and the pickup was on time.
