Lauren from United Kingdom (28 November 2024)

8/10

Affordable with free parking just outside of the city. Walkable distance to the metro station to get into town. Big bedroom and bathroom. We didn't have breakfast or use the facilities.

What could be improved: No fresh milk only powdered for the tea and coffee. Room was quite dark, not helped with the current furnishings.

Simone from Italy (1 October 2024)

8/10

The bed is comfortable and the space in the room is nice.

What could be improved: On the night someone vomited in the corridor and on the morning after no one cleaned it...I advised then the front desk but after 3 ours everything was still on the floor... so bad experience

William from United Kingdom (29 September 2024)

7/10

Clean, good location

What could be improved: Expensive for a two/three star hotel, requested a high floor room but put on the ground floor with no view overlooking a car park

What could be improved: It was far from downtown making a bus, uber or metro ride a necessity. Bikes at the hotel would be a nice addition... when I asked the staff looked a bit bemused and I suggested they just point me to a public transport bike hub then.

Gym A/C was not working or not present and it was v dated.

I think the in room drinks options could be better and in particular having a cup of tea of an evening is a real must for me and the room had only a coffee capsule machine. When I asked for tea I was given tea capsules (what??) and powdered milk which is a bit of a no go for me.

Holly from United States (16 July 2024)

What could be improved: I'm used to free freshly brewed coffee available in the morning in the lobby, Kureig style coffee is not good.

Colin from United Kingdom (16 July 2024)

Next to Olympic park and botanical gardens which were well worth a visit

The room was very comfortable, clean, great shower, fridge, coffee. Staff in reception , cleaning and restaurant are very good, friendly, helpful, ok if you speak French or English. Exceptional staff!

What could be improved: Noise from the swimming pool, I’m guessing bachelor parties or school reunions. No tea offered in the room. Restaurant is just ok, selections are super ordinary, tending to Italian but not good Italian, just ok. There are no close restaurants, bakeries or coffee shops. Just an IGA next door with small offerings.

Gloyn from Canada (13 June 2024)

9/10

Good location and staff, though a wedding Saturday crowded out parking spots. Staff was excellent in reaching out when we left some gear in the room after checking out, and able to retrieve it before leaving town.

What could be improved: Pricey cost during f1 weekend, though less than other hotels.
