Acceptable Stay but Some Issues

small elevator dirty walls

The breakfast had a good selection.

The elevator was quite small. There was only one for the entire hotel. The furniture in the room seemed old and worn, not ideal. I also noticed the walls in the hallways looked quite dirty.

perfect location river view comfortable room towel rack small room inconvenient door

the location was perfect. it was right on the river and had abundant food options within a short walk. our room, a beautiful double room view, was very comfortable and quiet! breakfast was top notch with the river view.

The bathroom didn't have anywhere to put my shower towel except for the only towel rack right next to the bidet. also. it was quite low. i found the room to be a bit too small. The closet door would clash with the bathroom door if i didn't close it first, inconvenient.

location's alright, but don't expect too much

constant rumbling dust mites

the hotel is near some tourist spots. that's really the only good thing i can say.

My room faced some kind of courtyard. there were machines there. I assume they were for the air conditioning system. i didn't sleep well because there was a constant rumbling all night. the cleanliness wasn't great. I think i'm allergic to dust mites because i needed medication twice during the night.

Really good Stay, River Views and Perfect Service

captivating river view accommodating staff excellent location peaceful area

The suite offered a captivating river view. It was honestly fine. The staff was very accommodating to our requests. The location is excellent. It is approximately 10 minutes from main attractions. Designer stores are nearby and the area is quiet and peaceful at the same time (a great combination, actually).

The hotel had only one small elevator available for all guests, which sometimes caused delays, especially during peak hours. It wasn't a major issue, but slightly inconvenient.
