Really good City Center Stay

great locationhelpful staffeasy access
The hotel enjoys a great location. It's very close to the city center and easily accessible to many restaurants. The cathedral is also within walking distance. I appreciated the really good help from the front desk staff (Amira), who assisted with bookings and extending my stay.
The rooftop bar was temporarily understaffed . This resulted in a short wait for service initially.
Facilities
9/10
The rooftop bar provides scenic views (especially at sunset) and offers a relaxing spot. There is also an accessible spa and a gym , so I could stick to my fitness routine. The facilities provided a convenient and enjoyable experience.
