Modern, very clean, well maintained hotel with excellent staff and good facilities (spa was a nice extra included in the price). Only minor criticism was functionality of the room - not enought space for hanging clothes and not enough sockets (can't use the hairdryer in front of a mirror and can't plug in the kettle anywhere convenient).

Ok location (15 min walk to Old Town). Hotel was very modern and clean. Room was comfortable. Layout works for a couple (not a lot of separation between bathroom area and bedroom). In an older residential area so views from the room were mid. Parking garage was tight. Had to park in city deck first night (€29) because hotel garage was full.
