9.6/10 Exceptional! (347 reviews)

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, quiet, and very comfortable, but unfortunately had no view — it faced another building with many windows, so I had to close the curtains as soon as I entered. Breakfast was good but not outstanding. I requested a cappuccino with oat milk, but the result was hit-or-miss. I also had dinner at the hotel restaurants twice; while the food was tasty, the options felt a bit limited for my preferences. One drawback was the entrance situation. Guests can only enter and exit through the main entrance, which is farther from the train station and involves stairs. There is a more convenient ground-floor door, but it’s apparently reserved for conference attendees. Overall, the service was good and the stay was enjoyable, and I would be happy to return in the future.
