Central and Convenient Stay

large roomclean roomperfect locationhelpful staff

The room was quite large and very clean. The location was perfect for walking around the city. I could easily reach main attractions. Hotel staff were very accommodating, they answered all my questions before and . buses and trams were free for seniors (a nice bonus!).

The breakfast had limited options, it lacked variety.

The breakfast area had a coffee machine and offered fresh pastries. There were also some local cheese options (i especially loved the smoked one!). I noticed the staff kept the area clean and well-stocked, especially during peak hours.

the staff displayed genuine care, tending to every detail. breakfast was good with enough options available. the location was perfect as it was just off the main street. it gave us quiet evenings and easy access to everything.

i found no real view out of the window. i feel the room could do with blackout curtains, as too much light came into it too early in the morning.

The location was acceptable. It was close enough to everything.

the breakfast was far from excellent. the hot options were limited to just scrambled eggs and sausages. frankly, i expected more variety from a hotel with this rating.
