If there was a rating between 'average' & 'good' I would have used it. 'Very good' is slightly generous.
The hotel is modern, clean and comfortable but not outstanding in my opinion. There were too many little niggles which spoilt it for us. For example the wifi is virtually non-existent on the higher floors and we needed to get new codes every day to get access which became frustrating. Our door keys kept resetting themselves which meant several tips back down to reception to sort out (ok, maybe just bad luck).
The thing I would definitely warn about is the car park. I consider myself a reasonably good driver and we had rented quite a small car but I found it very difficult to manoeuvre around the narrow underground car park and resorted to actually trying to reverse in as it was so difficult to get out of the small spaces.
The location is good with a metro stop only a minute's walk away and we found it quite easy to get out of the city from there as it is located near one of the main roads.
All in all I would say good but not outstanding.
