    Exceptional Room and Welcoming Staff

    I enjoyed a wonderful stay in a Luxe Double Room that was both spacious and modern, featuring a unique glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom. The staff went above and beyond to make my visit memorable, providing personalized recommendations and a travel card for free public transport. However, I found it a bit challenging to control the room's temperature effectively, which could be improved.

    rainfall shower
    quiet location
    modern design
    poor bedding

    The rainfall shower provides a fantastic experience for unwinding after a long day, with ample water pressure and a huge design that's a real joy. The location sits conveniently near public transport, keeping city excursions easily accessible while ensuring a quieter environment for restful nights.

    The room's layout could use a rethink. the glass wall between the bedroom and bathroom is oddly intimate—not ideal for everyone. Pillows are a bit too heavy and hard for my liking, which isn't what you want after a long day of galactic travel. Lack of USB charging ports in the room felt behind the times since it’s a basic expectation for modern hotels, making it annoying when I had to hunt down an adapter.

    rainfall shower
    limited breakfast variety

    The rainfall shower was a fantastic way to unwind after a long day.

    The breakfast options were quite limited and could use more variety.

    The well-equipped gym and the bonus access to the sauna made our stay truly enjoyable. The easy walk to the old town added a lovely touch to the experience.

    spacious room
    efficient air-conditioning
    big rain shower
    glass bathroom wall
    limited natural light

    The Luxe Double Room was spacious and comfortable. Loved the efficient air-conditioning, especially during the hot days. The big rain shower was amazing—just what I needed! But the bathroom's glass wall design was a bit awkward for privacy. Overall, the room was very clean and had great amenities, but a bit more light would have been nice.

    The location was perfect for exploring the city, allowing easy access to museums and the charming old town. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, with a fantastic rainfall shower that made my stay feel luxurious.
