The television remote in my black beautiful suite, danube canal view king bed didn't work. i couldn't change channels easily. the minibar wasn't fully stocked. There were no complimentary snacks, a real letdown, and it felt quite empty. the automated blinds. it was pretty annoying. also, there weren't enough towels in the bathroom. I had to call down to request more.

The rooftop bar provided superb panoramic views, a definite highlight. my suite offered an extraordinary level of cleanliness, which i found very appreciable. the location proved excellent with convenient access to numerous local attractions. It simplified my exploration a lot. also, the staff members i encountered showed consistent friendliness and readiness to assist, a valuable addition.
the gym was a bit small, and i had to wait to use the treadmill, though this wasn't a major problem.

The location was perfect. It was within walking distance to many main attractions. the rooftop bar impressed me. I went there every day for breakfast and enjoyed the nighttime views. it was a must.
The room was one of the darkest i've ever stayed in. i struggled to see anything in the evening after checking in. The room was gray with polished cement floors that felt sticky. the knob on the toilet door came off. The drain stopper in the bathtub didn't work.
