8.2/10 Very Good! (461 reviews)
Although we would have preferred undercover parking because of the snow the hotel staff were exceptionally helpful in assisting us to clean the snow from our car when we were leaving. We can recommend the Vietnamese restaurant in walking distance from the hotel as is the centre of the city
