My experience at this hotel was a mix of good and bad. While the rooms were modern and spacious, I faced significant issues with the service and dining. The ambiance of the bar left a lot to be desired and the breakfast could be much better. Overall, it was a decent stay but definitely not without its flaws.

I was quite disappointed with my experience at this hotel. The service at the bar was exceptionally poor, with inattentive staff and subpar drinks. My room was clean and comfortable, although the bed could have been better. Some amenities, like the spa, looked promising but had issues with booking. Overall, I can't say I would return given the dining and service experiences.

My stay at this hotel had a mixed bag of experiences. The location was great, with easy access to the train station and several good restaurants around. However, I faced issues with the restaurant being closed on a Sunday and the bar prices feeling a bit high. While the rooms were clean and spacious, some aspects like the shower and room safe could definitely use attention. Overall, I had a decent experience, but there's room for improvement.
