Central and chic stay

large bedclean roomrooftop bar

The breakfast was tasty, with many good options. My room had an extra large bed and was very clean. The rooftop bar and pool area WAS lovely.

There was VERY little storage for clothes in the room. A tall cupboard had no shelves, so it was wasted space. The sitting area was not inviting, the seats were uncomfortable.

inadequate air conditioningunhelpful staff

I found some aspects disappointing. The air conditioning was programmed to shut off, so the room was often too warm. I had to ask the maintenance team to reprogram it. the staff was not very helpful in suggesting parking options. I was left to find parking on my own, a challenge considering the location.

The location near the cathedral was very convenient. I found the rooftop pool and bar provided a relaxing escape. The breakfast offered a great variety. I especially enjoyed the restaurant options. I found the modern rooms to be large and well-equipped with a minifridge and welcome chocolates.

My room faced the side where bins were collected very early. I found the noise level to be bothersome during the night. The closet had limited shelves. I was underwhelmed by the uncomfortable seating in the sitting area and the unattended bar.
