Pros: Really nice room, with the coolest view over the city. Good breakfast buffet. Cons: Could have used some furniture on the balcony! A couple of chairs and a small table would have made it perfect. The hotel is under renovation, which caused some odor issues (epoxy on the lower balconies) on some days. The air conditioning didn't work for the same reason. But there was a fan available.

Pros: Super nice newly restored hotel by the city park. A mix of 70s charm (entrance + elevators) to super modern (rooms and corridors). Great view. Cons: Air conditioning still not in operation. Was at the hotel in 2025 and 2026 and the AC still doesn't work. The heat is intense in this high-rise. No chairs and table on the balcony.
Great breakfast with plenty of choices. Large hotel-owned parking lot. Clean rooms with everything you need. Bonus: with balcony!
Pros: Rooms beautifully renovated. Cons: No air conditioning. Exterior environment not well maintained. Reception, dining room still in maritime times ;-)
Main thing is survived.
Pros: Centrally located. Cons: No air conditioning, sweating for 5 days at nearly 30 degrees on the 11th floor. Then charged a different price each day for the 5 days, from 98€ to 275€ - never experienced anything like it.
