underwhelming experience
small roomweak water pressure
the room they gave me initially was far from excellent. it was surprisingly small, and the bathroom felt quite cramped. the water pressure in the shower was weak. these issues certainly detracted from the overall comfort one expects at this level of hotel.

Acceptable stay due to some inconveniences
balcony viewcoffee facilitiesdelicious breakfastcrowded locationextreme noisenon existent service
This hotel offered a special balcony view of the river. I appreciated that the room had coffee making facilities. Breakfast was included each morning. It was huge and delicious. I also liked the bar downstairs, where one could sit and view the riverbank.
The hotel looks pretty, however, a lot of things were not good. The hotel is in a super crowded location that creates extreme noise. I found service to be non existent. I also noticed that the water was either scorching hot or freezing.
