A possible fit, with trade-offs

A good but mixed choice: spacious, comfortable rooms, strong breakfast, friendly service and attractive facilities are offset by variable maintenance, pool crowding or availability, weaker soundproofing, uphill tourist access and unreliable bedroom Wi-Fi evidence.

Worth checking: 10 of the 666 reviews in our sample contain a complaint about noise. See the evidence

The pools look good and are genuinely attractive, especially the rooftop pool with its city outlook. Guests praise the cleanliness and relaxing setting, but rooftop space can feel cramped, loungers are limited, outdoor availability has varied, and children may face restricted indoor-pool hours. It works best for a relaxed swim rather than a spacious pool day.

How we got to 7.2

Overall location is good for local amenities and business convenience, but below excellent for sightseeing because the hotel is uphill and outside the main tourist core. The provider location score is 8.4, while recent reviews document both convenience and meaningful distance limitations.

  • Nearby cafés, restaurants, shopping, groceries and pharmacies are documented.

Pulls the score down

This is a clearly documented proper desk with a separate chair, nearby visible outlets in one photograph, and strong window access.

A good but not top-tier score reflects documented availability of a multi-equipment fitness centre and several positive guest assessments, offset by recent supplied reports of limited weights, an older gym and broken treadmills.

  • Fitness centre is documented and visibly includes treadmills, resistance machines and cable equipment.
  • Several supplied reviews describe the gym positively, including “superior fitness facilities” and “gym and indoor pool with sauna was peaceful and relaxing.”
Pulls the score down
  • One supplied review reports that the gym was “a little old” and that one treadmill was out of order.

Value is mixed: the hotel offers strong amenities and service, but some guests find it overpriced or lacking character. The pools, breakfast, spacious rooms, and friendly staff help justify the rate, while dated details and extra costs can weaken the overall deal.

How this page was made

We hold 666 reviews for this property and analyzed 666 reviews across 8 languages. Text matching and AI interpretation can miss nuance, sarcasm or translations. Repeated experiences, larger samples and independent sources are more useful than a single vivid quote.

Quotes, however, are only ever drawn from the 295 English reviews. Machine-translating a guest’s sentence would change their original wording.

We count mentions using text patterns. Complaints can come from a reviewer’s “disliked” field or negative wording in their review. These counts describe the reviews we hold, not the proportion of all guests who experienced an issue. “Recent” means the last 730 days.

Scores, section explanations and photo descriptions come from a model reading the source material using AI, last run 10 October 2026. Published photos may be old, staged or incomplete; AI cannot measure a room or verify a facility is currently open. Nearby places are mapped within 1500 m; walking times are estimates, not checked routes. Prices are observations for sample dates and will move.

We link to a review or its source page when an address is available. Source, rating, and month accompany quotes to help you locate them. Some links open a collection of reviews rather than the individual quote.
