I stayed and was put into one of the accessible rooms on level 6. This in itself was not an issue apart from the amount of water that’s left on the ground after a shower. The shower curtain is far too small for its purpose. Not sure who designed this but it’s not appropriate and allows for water to flood the whole area. The rooms are right next to the pool and gym entrance on level 6. The constant noise of the gym/pool door banging in the wall is annoying to say the least. Up to 9:30 or so at night and then from 6am you can hear it. This is poor design and should have been considered when they put the doors there. I have stayed here before but to be honest it’s now run down and amenities pretty poor for a hotel that is supposed to be of this standard. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Very nice place

The staff were very nice and friendly, they allowed us to drop our luggage off early even before check in time. The place was nice and comfortable. The location was in the centre of the city, everything was in walkable distance. Would definitely come back again.

Negatives: 1.) We booked 2 one- bdr. apartements with balconies, however, not one chair or outdoor table on these balconies. Totally empty. The idea was to sit in the sun sometimes abs get some fresh air. This is why you hook a balcony and ist more. 2.) no recycling bins in any of the 4 units in our group, though signs how much the hotel tries to recycle. 3.) breakfast was good, the coffee machine was the cause of much frustration with lots of guests. Positives: Very friendly staff, from the reception to the staff in the breakfast are, always helpful and service with a smile. Thank you!
