Good location. You know what you are getting with HI. Overpriced but it was the tattoo and fringe at the time.
Breakfast isn’t great - it’s ok, but could be improved.

Disappointing
Close to city centre and public transportation.
Breakfast area needs an improvement, total chaos. No indications of where the line starts to serve the hot food. A better breakfast area food distribution is required. The price was extremely high for the quality and facilities of the hotel.

Great location. Duty manager on Friday was great and helped us with our complaint about the room size.
Advertised as a 4 adult room but was not, 3 adults. One person had to sleep on the floor.

The location is perfect, close to everything. Breakfast included , very simple but with gluten free options and staff really nice and helpful. Friendly staff.
However, on our first night, we were assigned a terrible room on the ground floor. The receptionist claimed that I had booked that room through Booking.com, but I hadn't. It was an old room with a very dated bathroom. The next day, I went straight to the reception and requested an immediate room change, considering the cost per night that I was paying. The staff member was friendly and accommodating, and after about an hour, they moved us to a new room on the second floor. It was small but much nicer.
