"The hotel's interior design is distinctly palatial, and whether it's to your taste is entirely subjective. However, the comfort, safety, and cleanliness of the rooms were impeccable, at least for this price point. The overarching feeling after our three-day stay was one of complete peace of mind.
The three Caucasian staff members who assisted us at the front desk were exceptionally friendly. Having just arrived in Europe, I was initially a bit nervous speaking English, but the calm politeness of a handsome young man and a kind older gentleman immediately put me at ease, making each conversation progressively smoother. Only one older gentleman seemed a touch refined and perhaps a little aloof, but his conduct was certainly not offensive.
The location is superb. It's just a 5-minute walk to the central train station. The Old Town and the UN headquarters are both about a 15-minute ride away, and the airport is 30 minutes. There's an abundance of restaurants, shops, and supermarkets nearby, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. (While many hotels near the train station offer similar benefits, a unique advantage here is that Tram Line 15 stops directly in front of the hotel, providing easy access to many key city attractions.)
One minor, unexpected drawback was that directly behind our annex building lay a dozen or so railway lines extending from the train station. From early morning, we could indeed perceive faint noises and vibrations. However, the sound insulation of the room windows was remarkably good, so it didn't impact our sleep quality in the slightest. Nevertheless, those particularly sensitive to noise might want to consider this when booking. Requesting a room number starting with 1 or 8 (all rooms in our annex building started with 9) should help mitigate the railway noise."
