Upea, siisti hotelli, jossa aivan loistavan hyvä ruokaravintola sekä monipuolinen aamiainen.
Ainoa miinus parivuode, joka kovin pehmeä jossa toinen heilahtaa kun toinen kääntää kylkeä.

Huone oli oikein siisti.
Palvelu mainiota.
Aamiainen ei oikein sytyttänyt verrattuna Vaakunan tasoon muuten.

Mahtava henkilökunta!
Henkilökunta on supermukava!Tuntuu että he todella tekevät enemmän kuin työehtosopimus vaatii, jotta vieraat varmasti viihtyvät parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla.
Hotellin sijainti Kouvolan keskustassa on paras mahdollinen.

Erinomainen
Erinomainen hotelli monella mittapuulla. Loistava aamiainen ja upea Pentik-sisustus huoneissa. Moottoroidut sängyt olivat ihana yllätys. Ah, mitä luksusta! Hotellin ravintolassa saimme mainion illallisen ja aulabaarissa nautimme hyvästä palvelusta.

Vastaanotossa mahtava henkilökunta! Huone oli todella siisti ja sisustus hieno. Helppo tulla autolla ja parkkitilaa oli hyvin. Ainut pieni miinus tulee aamiasesta, astiat alkoivat loppumaan noin puoli tuntia ennen aamiaisen loppumista eikä henkilökuntaa näkynyt missään. Näin ollen sai odotella aika kauan että sai täydennystä.

In room, bathroom was nice with Lumene products, and windows opened! Perfect for a warm summer day. Terrace was lovely but menu limited because it's a French restaurant, and prices a little high.
