“The location is certainly a plus, steps from the train station and close to the Victoria Quarter. The architecture is striking, especially the ballroom, even if the acoustics present a challenge. While recent renovations aim to modernize the property, some rooms still reflect a tired aesthetic that might not meet expectations, especially considering the price point.”
