Wonderful

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had a great view of the river. The breakfast was good, only wish that a meat was offered. We were very pleased with our stay.
I like the view from the room balcony, closest to Anakesta park and aquarium. I would've like to see more breakfast varieties like adding sausages or bacon.
Room was clean, staff was awesome, liked the closeness to everything. Breakfast was ok. Same thing everyday for 3 days but all in all I would stay again.

The rooms were clean, but very outdated. The bed was very hard and breakfast was definitely not great. Other than those weird packaged scrambled eggs and yogurt, no other protein.

Pros: Room was clean staff very friendly
Cons: beds need new mattresses
Room door needs weather stripping, could see light all the way around door when closed. Temperature outside was below freezing and cold air blew in around door
