great locationvaried selectionunhelpful staffmissing hairdryer

the location was really good. it was close to the centre and easy to reach many attractions. breakfast had a decent selection, including smoked salmon and a waffle machine.

The reception staff were not very helpful. queues often formed at the front desk, and staff did not always direct people to the self-check-in kiosk. also, our room had no hairdryer available. The reception could not provide one either.

I found the breakfast excellent with smoked salmon and various cheeses available. fresh water fountains located on each floor allowed me to refill bottles easily. Tap water also tasted good. staff members proved helpful and kind. Their assistance greatly contributed to a smooth stay.

the hotel lacked a distinct atmosphere, and it felt more like a business-oriented hotel.
