The location, the bedrooms spotless, spacious and plenty of light, bed was very comfortable as the pillows, and the restaurant/breakfast amazing.
There was only 1 elevator working do it took a long time to reach your floor. So we use the stairs because we were only 1 floor away from the reception, so it was easier and faster. If it were more floors in between then it would have been another story.

Staff - super polite, precise, reacting fast on any request. Invoice - no problem. Changing a kettle (previous guest burned it) - was done immediately. Extra toilet paper - no problem. Last day, I asked just for a coffee - I received it for free. We appreciated a room on the 9th floor. It was spacious. Windows well isolated from noise. Air conditioning worked perfectly - we were there on very hot days. Room service - I recommend their fish and chips :) Delicious! Location - the best. Short, on a flat surface, walk to the Airport bus. A lively commerce in the neighborhood. Bus stop just in front of the hotel.
Wooden shelf in the bathroom with visible damage caused by water. At this place a different material, resistant to water would be better. A stain on the carpet below the desk. Staff should pay attention to this when cleaning the room. Only instant coffee available in the room - only a kettle was available in the room. But we could get coffee in the bar downstairs. The windows in the room - not washed for a long time.

Great location a short walk to the old town. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed with huge bathroom. Large bottles of water replenished daily.
It’s a large hotel with only 2 elevators, and one was out of service for 12 weeks. At peak times the wait was very long.
