  An obnoxiously noisy hotel experience

  If you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful experience, like most people staying in a hotel do, I suggest you find another hotel to book into. It is absolutely impossible to get any sleep in this hotel due to the horrendous volume the music is played at in the restaurant at nighttime. And - as you can guess - there is no way you can stay at the restaurant ulnless you want to risk a loss of heari… Read moreIf you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful experience, like most people staying in a hotel do, I suggest you find another hotel to book into.

  Loved the restaurants but bars can be an issue

  Had a longer stay here for business and while it was generally a good experience, the basement nightclub can be an issue due to the noise so best to stay on a higher floor.

The Amarillo restaurant on the reception level has super tasty snack… Read moreHad a longer stay here for business and while it was generally a good experience, the basement nightclub can be an issue due to the noise so best to stay on a higher floor.

  Something nice, something dull

  The common spaces look so old and have a smell of old alcohol and desinfection chemicals over the decades, but the room was ok. I was there on Friday night and asked for a quiet room not distrurbed by the disco, and I did. The room was old but functional, no complaints about that. The breakfast variety was plenty, but the breakfast room in the disco is far from nice, and even in the morning the mu… Read moreThe common spaces look so old and have a smell of old alcohol and desinfection chemicals over the decades, but the room was ok.

  Old, expensive, 80s

  Very expensive hotel for it’s quality. Water runs down inside of the walls and interior is 80s at its best. The price-quality ratio does not match. 60€ hotel maximum. Good location close to the train station and airport. Good luck whit the mold.
