Lovely modern hotel in a good location close to the old town & train station. Good sized rooms, very clean & quiet, spotless bathroom. Very friendly & helpful staff. Would stay again.
The hotel was centrally located near the main shopping district and in walking distance of the main attractions of the city. Our room was modern and clean.
Staff was very nice, room was clean and refreshed daily. I asked for a hot water kettle and it was brought up 20 minutes later. Room ha individual AC/heating and blackout curtains that did keep the light out. They have a breakfast buffet which seems like a good deal at 11 euro (prepaid, regular 17) but I am not a breakfast person. Great location, too.
The room was comfortable and clean and the staff is very kind and helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location, at a walking distance from many attractions. However, the hotel is not a typical 4 stars hotel. Many facilities as a bar, specious lobby or fitness room are missing. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Our stay here was fantastic. The location, the staff the rooms and the cleanliness were exceptional. They also made my husband’s 60th birthday an unforgettable one with their own personal touch!
The breakfast was excellent and very complete, although the small dining room required organizing in shifts. The room was small but clean. The view from the window was nothing special.
