"The staff were friendly. The hotel was clean. The location was in the Jewish quarter,. There were lots of great restaurants within 10-15 minutes walking distance, and it was about 20 minutes walk to the river. The location allowed easy access to the local metro and bus system.The bed was huge and comfortable. The breakfast buffet had a large range of food and drinks to select from. The indoor pool was good. Sadly the cooler/wet weather did not allow use of the outdoor pool during my stay. There was only one lift in operation for a few of the days which was slow at times."
