mine was a newer single room. Very nice. Clean. Fifth floor so most mostly quiet. reception staff was great. This year reception was open at the hotel, not at the Monopol a few doors down. They were able to find me a fan that worked, to help cool the room. But of course it was very hot.

Liked: Cleanliness

The room was absolutely lovely and the hotel is very well located near to the trainstation. However, we had not realised there is no air conditioning in the room - it was sweltering during our stay in the July heat wave. With open windows, we kept up for much of the night by noise/partying in the street below us. We barely slept. I would stay here again in fall or winter but it's a no go for me on hot summers.

In summer you need to have air conditioning. Otherwise if you plan to use fans only, please equip the rooms with stronger fans. The standing fans in the room were pretty useless and we were sweating throughout the 2 nights we stayed there

The location is great, in walking distance to everything and very convenient. The room was clean but there was no AC. The breakfast is served in the partner hotel. The hotel doesn’t have a receptionist after 8:00 pm. The elevator needs to be replaced and looks so old. I was very uncomfortable whenever I had to use it. The hotel manager is so professional and competent. Some of the staff need a customer service training.
