Bedrooms were fantastic. Unfortunately thats where ut starts and ends... Vibration of disco through the hotel ino early hours. Often no one on reception and passers by can go straight through to the bedroom area, which is a security concern.

We didn't arrive until after 10pm and couldn't get through to the hotel to notify them. When we arrived I advised that the phone wasn't working and the receptionist shrugged his shoulders. The phones in the rooms weren't working either so we couldn't order room service. There is a nightclub in the hotel and we could hear the music very clearly in our rooms until 3am. On the positive side the location was great and the pub was good. Don't stay here is you want a quiet weekend.

When we arrived at the hotel, reception was fine and the booking in great. In the room, the things that should have been present weren't. No bath robes, no shower gel in the shower, and a very carefully opened and empty pack of pringles in the mini bar. I mentioned all of the above to reception, expecting the erors corrected during the day that were were out of the room, but when we arrived back for the second night, no change. Reception was great on the second night even giving us a complementary glass of wine in the bar, but I'm not sure if it compensated for the noise out of the back of the hotel when the nightclub disgorges its clients at 3am or whenever.

Walking distance to everything, all the sites, city transportation and it was delightful having a restaurant right in the hotel. Great wine list! I must say I wish even though the hotel is embracing the whole "going green" thing that our sheets were changed more frequently and the floors cleaned more. All and all its a hip contemport place that I would visit again.

In generale l'albergo può appartenere al massimo alla categoria 3 stelle. L'unica cosa positiva è la poszione centrale.

Hotellet er udmærket med en undtagelse. Fredag og lørdag aften har en musikklub tilholdssted på hotellet. Det medfører meget høj musik fra kælderen til de overliggende etager frem til kl. 0300 om morgenen. Meget lidt kundevenligt. Men man modtog min klage meget høfligt og lovede at se på sagen.
