Uncomfortable Beds

Sleeping is a fundamental aspect of any hotel stay. The hotel provided me with a unsatisfactory single bed without a mattress just a single mattress topper and low quality bedding -Therefore, a very uncomfortable stay and sleepless nights .Sleep

Great view compromised by illogical poor service

It was good to arranged for a late check in as my train arrives after 10pm. I stayed for 4 nights and the stay got worse as the week progressed. A few points. The spa section is run by a separate company, all with extra costs, with a small swimming pool not really suitable for swimming. The massage was a booked for an hour, upon arrival, was told it would only be for 30 minutes with no explanations. The massage made my muscles even more sore and I then had to see a physio to fix the problem caused by the masseuse. The chamber maid did not keep the room tidy. Beds were not made. Tea tray uncleaned. Tea mugs were washed in the room without detergent, instead of being replaced with clean ones. No coffee in the room. The refurbished design of the room is illogical. Although they have seat to help support old people and ppl using wheelchair, it isn't actually functionable, for a person who needs assistance to use the toilet and shower. The breakfast was ok with a wide selection of continental breakfast options. The view to the park is lovely, and I recommend requesting to be on that side. The rooms can be seen from the central high tower, so be easy of privacy. Given the many flaws i do not recommended this place unless you plan to go there for the view of the park. If its closely located to the flora tram stop, lots of car parking, a reasonable breakfast and rooms have new tv screens that are connected to the Internet for channels like Netflix, YouTube, Prime.. Lots to improve in
Bedroom with two single beds
Standalone shower. Accessible set is too far from controls of the shower.
Back View from 4th floor.
Standalone toilet without room to move if sitting down.

Convenient location, only a short walk to the city center. The hotel itself was a bit too outdated and would really benefit from some renovations. There is a small waterpark and a small gym in the same building.

Excellent service and great location

This is an old place and there is nothing much to do about it but compensate with a good service - and luckily this is what we got from the lovely receptionist (sorry for not asking for her name) who made our stay perfect and even helped us with the reservation for our next day. Gym is HUGE! Thanks One thing - kitchen stuff should change their attitude. and close the kitchen at 9:30, not 9:00- as the sign says.

Cramped for two

Room was small and a bit worn out. Needs renovations soon. Hallway carpets don’t look good. Bathroom was tiny and had some broken grout, black bits. Didn’t want to take a shower in that small space. Our beds were on separate walls, this room might work for a single traveler better.
