Riverside Delight, A Truly Wonderful Stay!

wonderful viewwarm staffbold colorinconsistent cleaning

The location was fabulous and the staff greeted me with warmth. I enjoyed a wonderful view facing the water and the hotel's design gave a Stanley Kubrick vibe. The corridors had long, bold colors and the design was finished to a great standard. I am very pleased with my stay and will recommend it to family.

The cleaning service wasn't consistent, and our room wasn't cleaned on some nights, despite assurances. Apparently, the cleaning finishes early at 7 pm, which I found unusual for a five-star hotel. The room service only replaced towels and made the bed, but toiletries were not restocked and the sink wasn't cleaned.

Our room offered a spacious layout. the high ceilings added to the room's grandeur. A well kept bathroom featured modern fixtures. I particularly enjoyed the river view.

Location

10/10

The hotel stands conveniently close to key transport hubs including the train station and the metro. Access to public transport options right outside simplified city exploration. The proximity to the river also allowed easy access to riverside walks and views.

The hotel offers a breakfast buffet. It includes various options. High ceilings enhance the lobby's grandeur. The presence of a bar with knowledgeable bartenders further elevates the guest experience.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel

small roommissing couch

The room size was definitely smaller than advertised, a detail that irked me. I booked a room advertised as 27 square meters. It felt smaller. The listing mentioned a couch, which I expected, but it was nowhere to be found. The staff just shrugged when I inquired. That didn't instill confidence.

The location was amazing! i was able to walk to the main square in just about 10 minutes. the room was always clean and i got fresh towels every day. the beds were super comfortable. I slept so well!

The heating didn't work on my first night. i told the reception, and they said they fixed it, but it still didn't work. the shower was leaking a bit too. breakfast was the same every morning. There wasn't a lot of variety.
