Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near major attractions, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers. While the rooms may need some freshening up and have an awkward layout, the hotel's service is lacking and struggles with language barriers. On the bright side, the location is excellent for transportation access and proximity to key sites, and the dining experience, especially the breakfast variety, receives praise.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, but the lack of a good view was a bit disappointing. The service provided was friendly and helpful, although encountering issues with my credit card got in the way. The location, while not in the city center, was convenient for accessing public transportation. The dining options were varied but not exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located near transportation options but lacks nearby amenities. The rooms are comfortable and clean with some minor issues regarding coffee availability. The service is inconsistent in accommodating international guests. The dining experience, although not exceptional, offers a decent variety of food. The hotel's location is excellent for travelers with specific needs like UN-related activities.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but a bit small, and the lack of curtains on the windows was a downside. The service was accommodating overall, but there were a few hiccups with certain staff members. The location was convenient for the train station but not in the heart of the city. The dining experience was below expectations, with limited breakfast options.
The hotel has nice enough rooms, large and comfortable, but the Nespresso machine only had pods on the first day, so no good coffee for the rest of the stay. The patio seating area couldn't be used comfortably during the sunny and hot days. The service was lacking, with issues like asking for the booking again and unfulfilled promises. The location is convenient for transportation but lacks nearby amenities. The dining experience was ordinary and repetitive. Overall, it's a mixed experience with some positives but also noticeable drawbacks.
