Very enjoyable but disappointed with restaurant and bar closures on Monday, Thursday and Sunday.
Pros:

Poor selection of food. Location was okay.

Cons:

Breakfast choice was rather limited given the large number of guests e.g 2 types of cold meats, pate, bacon, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs

Queues for coffee machines.

Melhor localização possível e muito conforto, especialmente para estadia de uma só noite
Pros:

A localização nem se fala, ao lado da estação central. Tudo se faz a pé a partir de lá, e se tem a facilidade de ir ao aeroporto também de trem rápido. O hotel é digital completamente, tudo se faz on-line, mas o staff tá sempre pronto pra ajudar. As instalações, apesar da quantidade de quartos, são bem cuidadas, novas, funcionam bem. Fiquei impressionado por ser um hotel de rede. E o café da manhã é super completo e requintado. Possibilidade de check-out later a preço justo e o quarto nos foi liberado bem antes do horário também
