The hotel's proximity to public transport was a plus. A taxi arrived quickly when I requested one through reception. The room was spacious. The minibar included local Fritz Cola, apple juice, and snacks. This was a nice touch.

i had a king suite sofa bed skyline view and it was amazing. i saw pretty good views from the room. parking cost 27 euros, but it's understandable since street parking is limited. i did find out the hard way the kitchen closed early, so i had marketplace food in my room. the 18th-floor sauna was a nice bonus to explore too.

mixed feelings about this hotel.

expensive breakfastdifficult invoice
The breakfast was really expensive. I think it was around 27 euros for one adult. that seemed a bit much and i don't believe the quality matched the price. also, getting an invoice was surprisingly difficult, it took days of emails. i was like i was chasing after it and never received a satisfactory response, even after several reminders. it's annoying.
