The room had a good size. Staff was very helpful and friendly, I could always ask them for assistance. The modern decor. The hotel was quiet, appreciated after a long day.

The bathroom was very small, it was a bit challenging to move around. This was not ideal but manageable for my short stay.

Good Hotel Near City Center

city centermuk productsspecial staff

This hotel sits in a convenient area. A 25-minute walk gets one to the city center. MUK products smell great. Staff made the place special for Taylor Swift fans, complete with friendship bracelets. The atmosphere was fun. Service was still great.

I found the variety of food offered at the bar disappointing. The quality was not up to par.
