Central Location and Great Breakfast

central locationcooked selectioncomfortable beddefective equipment

The hotel enjoys a central location. The metro station is nearby. Breakfast included a cooked selection, continental foods, and various drinks. Our room featured a lounge area and a comfortable bed. I liked the view of the mountain from our window.

The gym had some equipment that was defective. I found that most of it was unusable. The treadmill was not working, disappointing.

the location was acceptable, directly in the centre.

i requested a parking slot, and it was confirmed via email. upon arrival, i was told all four places were occupied. the receptionist apologized but it was not helpful, because i had to park very far from the hotel.
