Really good Hotel Experience
helpful staffexcellent breakfastgood viewgreat shower
The staff secured my bicycle in the luggage room, which I found very helpful. Breakfast included excellent options plus it had good variety. I enjoyed the views from my bedroom. The shower was great, and the beds were comfy.
I found that nearly all the facilities require an extra fee, unexpected.

The hotel offers convenient access to various amenities as well as good metro connections. The hotel suggests taking a walk to the old town for an immersive experience, then taking the metro back due to a long steep climb.

The breakfast offered a great variety. Staff members were helpful and polite.
I found the lack of closet space a real problem. A family of three must live out of luggage for days. There were only a few hangers with nowhere to put clothes.
