Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently appreciate this modern hotel's excellent location, particularly its proximity to the Ovo Hydro, which is just a short walk away. The rooms are generally clean and comfortable, some offering lovely river views, and the breakfast receives high praise for its variety, especially the waffle maker with toppings and the gluten-free options with a separate toaster. A few guests have noted that some rooms can feel quite small, but overall, the hotel provides a positive experience.

clean roombroken showercondescending attitude
the room was clean enough , and the location suited my plans.
the shower was a problem , it was not working properly. it took ages for the reception manager to address the issue , even after i explained i needed to shower for an event. his attitude was condescending , and the whole situation caused my partner to miss the event.

i had a queen room. the room was nice and neat. the outdoor patio on the riverside offered a nice space to relax with drinks. the river views and iconic crane created a lovely atmosphere.
i noticed the bathroom smelled strongly of smoke when i arrived. i also found a lighter under the velcro of the chair seat. this was concerning as it seemed like a fire risk.

i loved the outdoor patio near the riverside. i appreciated the iconic crane views as i enjoyed a beer. the location felt special on a sunny day, memories we will treasure.
my only problem was the absence of bottled water in the room. small touches matter for such a lovely experience. it would feel complete with that addition.
