- Friendly, helpful staff — Reception staff are consistently described as kind, accommodating, and professional, adding to a positive experience.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this property won't work — the policy explicitly prohibits them.
- Mixed overall rating — With a 6.6 out of 10 from 237 reviews, expectations should be moderate. While many guests praise the hotel, the 'Value' category scores lower (6.3), suggesting some find it pricey for the experience.
- Nightlife noise possible — The riverside area has nightclubs and bars, so rooms facing the river may experience some evening noise.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — If you're arriving late, note that check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59. Plan accordingly if your flight lands after midnight.
