Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent central location, often mentioning its proximity to the river and city center as a highlight. Friendly and helpful staff were also noted positively by several guests. However, many reviews expressed dissatisfaction with cleanliness, describing rooms and common areas as dirty or in need of maintenance. Some guests found the beds uncomfortable, and noise from nearby venues or the street was a recurring issue. Overall, while the location and some aspects of service stood out, improvements are needed in cleanliness, comfort, and noise control.
