The hotel is a bit dated overall, though the elevator seems newly updated. Staff are friendly and welcoming throughout the stay.
The highlight is definitely the location, within easy walking distance to the lakefront, City Hall, and Princess Street with plenty of shops and restaurants. Lake view rooms offer spectacular scenery, and the beds are very comfortable.
On the downside, soundproofing is limited, and noise from neighboring rooms can be noticeable. The bathroom is quite basic, with no towel rack (only two hooks behind the door), and toiletries are minimal, just a small bar soap and average sample size shampoo and conditioner.
Breakfast is simple but enjoyable, provided as a grab-and-go lunch box with hardboiled eggs, a muffin, cheese, apple purée, juice, yogurt and coffee tea.
Underground parking is available for a fee, but spaces are tight, and access can be inconvenient, there’s no elevator from P2, so you’ll need to use stairs or go via P1.
Overall, a comfortable stay with great views and location, but a few practical shortcomings.
