The hotel has quite a young vibe, but one that didn't put off this 70 year old. The top floor bar is lively and opens till late. Food in the dining room and at breakfast were good. Rooms are very spacious if a little spartan. And basement parking is a bonus

Really good hotel in a nice area. Cool vibe and an excellent rooftop bar. Breakfast was good but 29 euro seems a bit steep. Rooms cool and bed very comfortable. Would definitely go back but be warned bar was very busy Friday night and had to queue to get in.
