The location was superb, just a short walk from the main railway station and Tivoli Gardens. The dining options were great, offering healthy and tasty choices. My overall experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were neat and compact, but unfortunately located above a very noisy courtyard. The service was friendly and helpful, with the convenience of being able to provide information beforehand. The location was great for exploring the city, despite some disturbances at night. The dining was average, nothing splendid, with a chaotic atmosphere on weekends. Overall, it was a value-for-money stay with some drawbacks to consider.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the lack of space made it hard for me to fully unpack. The proximity to the train station and subway was convenient, and the bed and pillows provided a good night's sleep. The location was excellent, being just a short walk from the main train station and metro, but the presence of prostitutes was unsettling. The dining options were average, with a repetitive breakfast selection. Overall, a decent stay with some notable drawbacks.
