I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean with a nice touch of 'northern lights' LED lighting and very comfortable, plus the breakfast had a large variety of foods. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and helpful staff. The location was just perfect for exploring the area, and the dining experience was great. My only minor issue was with the price compared to the value for money.

The hotel had warm and clean rooms, though they seemed smaller in reality compared to pictures. The service was very friendly and reasonably priced, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was extremely good, central and near the river, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. The dining offered plenty of choices, but a sofa bed for a 10-year-old was too small. Despite a minor downside in the dining area, the hotel offers a great stay experience overall.
