Having the mini bar included was a very nice touch (although not refilled) and a coffee maker with pods in the room is great! I wasn't a big fan of the linnen used, and choosing to make a double bed with a small single duvet (for a single person staying in the room) felt a bit weird, but nothing that would make me choose another hotel. ##### Torbjörn Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Alexandru, at the Front Desk, went out of his way to make our stay especially comfortable and explained to us in detail how to get around the city.
