I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed with a great view, but the inability to leave the balcony light on overnight was a minor inconvenience.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room on the fourth floor, a corner suite with glass windows all around, provided excellent views of the river. However, the policy about alcohol consumption in the rooms was a bit restrictive for my liking. The service was outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff. The central location made it convenient for sightseeing and dining out. The dining experience was mixed, with a great buffet but slightly indifferent staff. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor hiccups.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, with a great view overlooking the bridge and river, even though being located beside the lift made it a bit loud at times. The only downside was that the room was a bit too warm and it would have been nice to have more control over the temperature.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with amazing river views from my spacious room and a really big comfy bed. The staff was very friendly and made every effort to ensure my comfort and safety during my visit, even under the current regulations. However, the service at the restaurant was a bit abrupt, and they didn't offer alternatives when it was fully booked. The central location was convenient, but there was some noise from a nearby bar that disrupted the experience.

After a long journey to find our room had been upgraded, we were impressed by the modern and clean room with a very comfortable bed. However, it was the noisiest stay we have ever experienced due to the constant sound of the water falling from the river until 4 o'clock, which is the check-in time.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, although in need of a paint job, were spacious, clean, comfortable, and offered excellent value for money. The fast Wi-Fi matched the hotel's online portrayal. On the downside, some service staff seemed inexperienced and unenthusiastic when handling requests. The location was ideal, within walking distance of amenities and attractions, but the disappointment came with the unexpected parking charges. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of fresh options and attentive staff. The facilities were adequate, though not outstanding.
