The hotel offered a mixed experience with spacious rooms boasting lovely river views but facing a warm and stuffy atmosphere, which was not ideal for my asthma. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to the friendly staff like Ronan, Daniel, and Kasia, who ensured a comfortable and safe stay. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the vibrant town center, although dining options were good but slightly overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is a lovely place with modern, clean rooms that are a bit warm during peak hours but offer lovely views. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to cater to all needs.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel overlooking the river, which was very special. The rooms had a veranda and a TV with all channels, and the power shower overlooking the river was a nice touch. However, the room had only one small radiator, so it didn't provide enough heat to really warm the room.
I had a pleasant experience at the hotel with fantastic staff and extra little touches in the rooms making it special. The only downside was the late-night music from the function room directly below our room.

However, the temperature was a bit high upon arrival and needed adjustment. The dining experience was basic with limited options and seemed overpriced.
