Esplanade Self Check-in Hotel

Trip.com says there is an available parking, but the closest one is a paid one and it is 10 minutes of steep staircases away.

Good hotel Good hotel. Breakfast was at a restaurant down the street. You got a little container of yoghurt with granola and fruit and you got to choose a meal, a hot beverage, and a cold beverage. It was very good and filling! The room was very big and clean with a nice balcony. The only downside was that the curtains let in a lot of light in the morning. Across the street is a furnicular that brings you next to a parking garage. If coming with the car, I recommend parking here. Walking from the parking garage to the hotel is ok. But from the hotel to the garage is all uphill so taking the furnicular is recommended if you have luggage.

Overall, our stay at the hotel was ok, thanks to its central and walkable location. However, we faced some frustrating issues with the electronic door handles, which often didn’t work, leaving us stuck for hours. Fortunately, a staff member eventually provided us with a key fob that worked. I recommend asking for a fob upon check-in to avoid this hassle. Additionally, we were misled about breakfast being free; it came with an extra charge. Despite these challenges, the location made for an enjoyable stay.
