average stay with some issues

dated roomsewage smell
The room felt quite dated. the display for adjusting the room temperature did not work properly, so the room was either too hot or too cold. also, there was a strange smell in the hallway. It smelled like sewage, really unpleasant and affected my overall impression. i hope they fix that sewage smell soon!

Fantastic Stay with Wonderful River Views

prime locationconvenient accesscomfy bedslow wifi
The location was a prime reason for my choice (I enjoyed being near the river!). The hotel has convenient access to the city and theatres. The room had lots of space with a comfy bed and a great view. The hotel also offers its own parking spaces.
The WiFi was somewhat slow and not password protected (a minor inconvenience, though).
