An ok visit
For a chain hotel it was fine.
This we liked - close to the old town, clean, stayed before so knew where everything was
Things which weren’t as good - only 1 or 2 reception staff available so always waited in a queue, had to ask 3 times for towels (only had one in our room), street was closed to the car park but staff unaware and so we updated reception on what the policemen told us….

Easy access to train and metro. Beautiful hotel. The breakfast spread looked amazing but for us it was a bit expensive so we didn't eat there.
