My stay at the hotel was quite nice and very spacious, but the rooms were not attractive for a 4-star hotel. The service was friendly and accommodating; however, there were concerns about security measures. The location was good with easy access to the Christmas market and city center. The dining experience was overrated and not the best value. Overall, a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, especially the suite I stayed in previously, were quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning on the 8-10 floors. The staff were helpful with advice on local attractions. However, the service lacked city insights or assistance, and the location, although close to the subway, felt a bit isolated from other amenities. The dining options were overpriced, but the variety was decent for breakfast.
