To begin with this hotel has a very pleasing contemporary feel. From the lobby with its neon lights to the corridors that resemble a cool dormitory it definitely has a distinct Euro vibe.
The room was spacious, with a small flat screen TV and a comfortable bed. The glass shower in the middle of the room is an exhibitionist dream. I wouldn't room with a friend or mother in law though. Could be a bit awkward.
Air conditioning, on the occasion I stayed felt non-existent. They provide a fan to help cool things down, but, it was not always comfortable in the room when the temps were in mid-90's outside.
The location was good, very close to the offices within the city and one stop away on the train from the main train station.
The breakfast was very good. Lots of hot and cold options.
The service was very good, with friendly people at the front desk. They even helped me negotiate my cab fare back to the airport and lent me a few Euro cents so that I would not have to go to an ATM.
The gym was great. They had a whole Spa area with dumbells, treadmill, eliptical and had a sauna and showers for guests. Very nice and upscale.
Overall I had a good stay. If they would have better air conditioning, it would have been perfect.
