My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was very comfortable and quiet, but it felt below the standard for a 4-star hotel. The service was mostly helpful and kind, although there were some communication issues before my arrival. The location was convenient, but the closing time was early for my tastes. The dining experience had its highs and lows with good food but some cleanliness issues. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were very clean and spacious, although lacking in decorative elements like art or photos. The employees were friendly and accommodating, but the issue with the air conditioning being only for heating was a downside.

The hotel is located in the city center, making it ideal for exploring the old town and river. The warm rooms are cozy and close to each other, though they can get a bit too warm. The service was helpful, especially in advising us on organizing our visit, but the limitation of not being able to fetch the car before 7 am was a downside. The location is pretty decent, about a 10-minute walk to the old town, but the works on the street caused some dust. Dining in the restaurant was good, with menus presented in both languages. Facilities are standard with room service, car hire, and laundry available.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered a fabulous view of the university and the old city, but the new room had a less appealing outlook over the car park. The location was great for exploring the old town and river, although the nearby construction left some dust on the windowsill. The service was warm and welcoming, making up for any shortcomings in other areas. The dining area had a good spread of options but needed better insect control. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.

The hotel is spacious and quiet, perfect for unwinding after weeks of traveling. The rooms are big with professional and helpful service. However, there could be more nightstand or lighting options available. The location is very pleasant, close to the river and with interesting surroundings, but amenities are lacking.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice, with great views and very comfortable, though some furniture was quite old. The service was super friendly and helpful, especially in planning my journey to a friend's wedding the next day.
