The location is convenient, with easy access to public transport, but can be noisy at night. The dining experience is average with room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were decent, with a ceiling shower and a very comfortable king-size bed, but they were a bit smaller than what I expected from a 5-star hotel. The breakfast left much to be desired and didn't meet my expectations, leaving me a bit tired during my stay.

The dining experience was satisfactory, with various choices available. However, the extra charge of €20 even for light options felt a bit overpriced. Opting for the cafe outside the hotel offered a more budget-friendly option.

The hotel has a great location, it's central and accessible to a train and metro station, taxi park, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, and shopping areas within a short walking distance. The rooms were of a decent standard but felt tired and used, with thin walls making noise noticeable. The service was a mix of being very friendly and knowledgeable with some instances of lacking a warm welcome. The dining experience was ok but seemed overpriced compared to nearby options. The fresh and airy location offers a good selection of drinks and snacks at reasonable prices.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was not as clean as expected, with hair on the bathroom floor and fungus in the shower, but the staff eventually answered the phone after numerous attempts. The location was convenient for accessing the metro and buses, but the noise from the airport could be bothersome. The dining experience was below par, and the breakfast did not justify the high price. However, the facilities had some redeeming qualities, making it an average stay overall.

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are small but clean and come with basic amenities, although there was a funny smell in the hotel.
