The location is convenient. It allows walking to many places. The rooftop bar was a good feature. It had pleasant views and good service.
The reception desk was often unattended. This made it difficult to get assistance quickly. My room faced the square. It had poor WiFi reception. The room key sometimes did not work. It required multiple trips to fix.

I found the rooftop bar particularly appealing. It offered fine views and a great ambiance. The free laundry service was a significant convenience, especially after long days exploring the city. I was very pleased with the modern decor throughout the entire hotel. The front desk staff was consistently helpful, ready to assist with any questions or requests I had.
I noticed that the soundproofing could be improved. I could occasionally hear noise from the hallway.
