Hotel stay was excellent, however the parking situation was extremely unsatisfactory. When booking, it stated that there is on-site parking, while in fact it was a couple minutes walk. Even worse, it's an expensive private owned lot that costs a fortune. I did not know of it from before.

3 / 5 Okay

I chose this hotel mainly for the terrace (one bedroom apartment with a kitchen) but the terrace was not private, didn’t have a view and overall was not convenient to use. Otherwise, it’s close to the city center. It’s a nice format because there is a kitchen. Also air conditioner was very noisy.
