10/10 Excellent
"Very well kept and extremely well located hotel, adjacent to the convention centre, so its purpose is obvious. The rooms are nice and clean, the bathrooms are modern and well designed. The gym is large and fairly well equipped. The staff is super friendly and efficient. A go-to place for those attending a meeting at the congress centre, and even for non business tourists."
