I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, but it’s located a bit far from the city center, which made getting around a little tricky. The staff was friendly and helpful, but check-in could have been smoother. Dining was decent, especially the breakfast by the river, but some improvements could be made. Overall, it was a reasonable value for the price.

The location is lovely right by the river, but it’s a good 10-15 minute walk to the nearest bus stop, which can be inconvenient without your own transport.

The hotel is fairly nice with friendly staff and decent value for the price. The rooms are a bit small and can be noisy if fully booked. The location is somewhat remote, so having a car is definitely an advantage. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, especially if you're looking for affordable accommodations and don’t mind the commute.

Rooms

The rooms are decently sized, but I found them to be a bit small for the number of guests. They were affordable, and I appreciated the free parking options available.

The staff was friendly and very helpful, going out of their way to accommodate us, including printing our boarding passes. However, they did leave behind some cleaning chemicals in our room, which was a bit concerning.

Location

6.0

The location is quite convenient, but it's a bit of a problem if you don't have your own transportation since it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest bus or tram stop. Being in an old military naval base was unique, though the area felt somewhat isolated with not much around.

Dining

The breakfast was included in the room rate, and while it was a small buffet, it included typical Continental options. I thought it was good, although seating was limited during peak hours.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were located in an annex that felt a bit distant from the main hotel, and even with the heating off, it was still quite warm. On the bright side, the staff were really friendly and welcoming, making the experience pleasant. The location is a bit quiet and maybe not the best for short stays if you’re looking to explore the city center a lot. Overall, it offers good value for money but might not be everyone’s ideal choice.

I stayed in a hotel that had its pros and cons. The service was very friendly and helpful, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The rooms, however, were in a separate building and felt cold and uncomfortable, which was a letdown. The location had its charm but was a bit out of the way. Overall, I found it decent, but improvements could be made, especially in the comfort of the accommodations.

The hotel has a lovely and quiet location with a nice maritime vibe, making it a pleasant retreat.

I had a unique experience staying in a historic prison building, which was quirky and very basic but clean. The location next to the harbor offered nice views, although it's a bit out of the city for those without a car. While the service was alright, it could improve, and the lack of heating in the rooms made for a slightly chilly night. Overall, it's good value for money if you're looking for something different.
