sehr gutes Hotel mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverh.

Das AVANI ist ein sehr schönes Hotel, in dem wir schon etliche Male waren und auch immer wieder buchen werden. Prima Fitnessraum, super Frühstück, sehr schöne Zimmer und sehr zentral gelegen. Eine wunderschöne Bar im oberen Stock mit Blick über die Stadt.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this place. Very modern hotel, great food and drink options.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good, but nothing extra. Only 2 plugs in the room (1 European, 1 Nam) far from the bed. Breakfast was varied but not very tasty. One morning they were out of everything (breads, yogurt, muesli, fruit, warm food like potatoes and sausages, coffee, the coffee machine was empty as well). Took me over half an hour to finally be ready to eat. The breakfast room is very noisy as well. One morning the cleaner tried to come in at 8, I was still asleep, took me ages to convince her to come back later. Their roof bar/restaurant isn't the best in town either, try Sky bar at Hilton. In general not the best value for money but okay (Hilton is nicer in every aspect).

Simple hotel for a nights stay. Inside is great and restaurant bar on the top floor is very nice and drinks were good. Outside of the building is a bit tired but that doesn’t matter really. We had a great stay.
