Pros:

We stayed here in Feb, 2020, just before covid and the hotel was exceptional. This was our reason for choosing to stay here again. The hotel shows some wear and tear since and the brunch left lots to be desired. We made reservations for 3, the room was not ready, no one knew how to set up the couch they moved my daughter to a separate room in the dungeon and promptly asked her to vacate the room at 930am. The front desk ladies were very nice and helpful, but this should not have even been an issue to begin with.

Cons:

See above

Hotellet är bra men personalen måste gå en servicekurs och uppfräschning är högst aktuellt
Pros:

Läget är väldigt bra om man tycker om närheten till det mesta, speciellt för en kortare vistelse

Bra frukost, men tråkig miljö på våning minus 3 (-3)

Cons:

Generellt dålig service av personalen
Aldrig bra att ta kunder till "källaren" till restaurangen för frukost
När man tillika bara har en hiss att komma dit med och mycket dåliga trappor att välja som alternativ
Inte bra för ett 4-stjärnigt hotell, BARA EN HISS!
Hotellet behöver renoveras, i rum 405 är golvet på flera ställen trasigt.
Min son, som jag reste med, skulle gå ur sängen och då är golvet så trasigt att han får en stor flisa av trä in i sin häl
Fick besöka läkare när vi kom hem för att ta ut den.

Pros:

Beliggenhet

Cons:

Jeg hadde bestilt 2 rom og fikk det minste rommet på hoteller. Det var i hvertfall det jeg fikk vite da jeg klaget. Fikk ikke skifte rom så dette ble en nedtur i forhold til at dette var ett nøye utvalgt hotell. De var upersonlige og lite hyggelige da jeg sa at jeg ikke var fornøyd.

Alt i alt tilfreds
Pros:

Meget lækker morgenmad og flot service at vi fik morgenmad med søndag morgen da vi skulle rejse kl 7

Cons:

Vær 314, var meget småt.
Betjening i baren kunne godt være lidt bedre

Pros:

The best hotel I have stayed in for being able to sleep! Curtains fitted properly and bed very comfortable. Breakfast was superb.

Cons:

The shower was a little dysfunctional but managed to get it to work. Arrived thinking I was going to be able to play the piano, however O was advised that nobody was allowed to play and that it was for decoration only. Couldn't get the air-conditioning to turn off.

Pros:

The location was convenient to experience both sides of the river. It was perfect to sit by the river. The room was sizeable.

Cons:

The elevator was a challenge. I waited for five minutes and the elevator struggled to make it to the ground floor. Additionally, the ground floor room was a challenge with noise.

Excellent location and lovely staff
Pros:

Excellent location. First room allocated was unacceptable but the lovely receptionist solved the problem and kindly found us another room. I did not get her name but she went above and beyond

Cons:

The first room allocated (triple) was accessed by a dark dingy corridor in what seemed like the basement. There was a loud constant noise of running water/water tank.
