The staff was super helpful. The location is ideal and conveniently close to public transport. The rooms are spacious, also the bathroom. There is complimentary tea, Nespresso coffee, and sparkling water on the landing. fruit. The signature room had beautiful and modern design. The shower and its facilities were lovely. The hotel maintained cleanliness throughout. The hotel reception gave great recommendations for restaurants. I found a coffee and water station. I started each day with coffee and an apple. The style of the rooms and the hotel generally was great. The tram stop is a minute away. When we mentioned our engagement, the staff arranged rose petals and towel swans in our room. Front desk personnel congratulated us upon arrival. I will always remember it. This was an considerate act.
I noticed they deducted a security deposit from my card. It wasn't returned immediately, so it caused slight concern.

My room overlooked an area where a very loud event occurred until late. Starting at 7:30 AM, staff began removing furniture. This made sleeping in difficult. Not ideal, obviously.
