Room needs repairs, avoid rooms near lift.

Noise from lifts kept me awake until late then woke me early in the morning. The sink had a crack in it, the shower went hot and cold, and the grout on the tiles was black in places. However, the hotel has a nice gym and swimming pool with great views. The breakfast was good also. It's a shame the room I stayed in was not better.

Overpriced…

The hotel is in a nice area and staff were so kind but the price is so much for the room. When you pay much you expect a big room with options. The AC was so old and the bathroom ventilation was broken. The flow of the water in the shower was bad and it was continuously hot and cold. Also they say the restaurant is open till 10.30 for breakfast but if you go at 10.15 you ll see many things are taken, you can’t get omelettes even you can’t find tea to drink. So what is the logic, just close the restaurant at 10.00 then…

Muy buen hotel y bastante bien situado. Habitaciones amplias y cómodas. Desayuno muy bueno. El único punto negativo, es el horario restringido que tiene el gimnasio y la piscina ya que cierran a las 22h, así que si te gusta hacer ejercicio después de esa hora, tienes que buscarte otras alternativas. En general muy buena experiencia y hotel muy recomendable.

Le personnel à l accueil et au restaurant ont été très agréables. L hôtel est à 15 minutes à pieds du centre historique ou à 2 minutes du métro, donc bien situé. Le lieu est très calme. Le petit déjeuner est très bien. Dommage que la moquette soit tachée et la baignoire retouchée, ce n' est pas digne d un 4☆ et la chambre un peu vieillotte. Impossible d accéder au SPA (jaccuzi, sauna ..) sans bonnet de bain, une première mondiale en ce qui me concerne !! Et ce n est précisé nul part à la réservation ! De même, il faut réserver un horaire, ce qui est peu pratique quand on visite une ville. J ai payé un 4☆ avec SPA inutilisable, je ne retournerai pas dans cet hôtel.
