Great location, great breakfast vies!
Pros:

Best location in town, also like the architecture.

Cons:

The lifts are rather small and can only comfortably take two people with bags at a time. But I hope they keep it this way, it’s part of the building style! The breakfast room was very busy.

Pros:

Huoneen koosta,aamiaisesta ja designista

Cons:

Emme tienneet että hotellissa tehdään remonttia,eikä siitä mainittu
Kylpyhuoneen ammen tyhjennys valutti vedet lattialle,putki pitäisi kiinnittää jottei se pääse irti ja silloin vesi valuu lattialle.Väänsimme sen itse paikalleen

Excelente hospedagem.
Pros:

A localização do hotel é excelente ,perto de vários transportes públicos e shopping center. A praticidade de se ter um supermercado abaixo do próprio hotel é tudo de bom.
