The room was well appointed with just about balcony view of the river. However, the overall appearance of the hotel is all a bit low key, check in is at the nearby Krone hotel and the entrance to magic is very underwhelming. The room was a bit tacky, but functional for a short break

Stayed in honeymoon suite with a beautiful view of the city and river. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and enjoyed our stay. Thankfully there were fans in the room to keep you cool because no A/C. If you do some research ahead of time finding the hotel and check in location is easy.
