I found this hotel to be a great choice for families looking for a comfortable stay with an extra bed for a family of 3. The rooms were cozy, and the bed was very comfortable. However, the price could be considered a bit high compared to the value provided. The service was impeccable, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry services, and a nice welcome drink. The location was ideal, right in front of the business area by the river and close to the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining options were enjoyable with many choices, especially the delicious grilled steaks. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything one could need during their stay.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The location was superb, with a beautiful view of the river right in front and not too far from the city center. The rooms were spacious and had an extra bed for my family of 3, making it very comfortable. The service was impeccable, with excellent dry cleaning services and a warm welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining options were limited, and the price was a bit high compared to similar hotels. Despite these minor downsides, the overall experience was truly enjoyable.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient for business needs, right off the river, but it was a bit far from the center. The rooms were nice and had an extra bed suitable for a family of 3, although the price could have been more budget-friendly. The service was decent with amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping available. The dining options were limited to pies, and the facilities overall were satisfactory, but nothing exceptional.
