    Optimal location to the city centre - everything was within walking distance. Friendly staff and nice, clean room. Breakfast was good with a large selection. Missing products were replaced immediately.

    For breakfast, the preparation of scrambled rice, sausages and fried bacon (must be left longer in the pan) is an option.

    Location is well close to the center. Hotel is in a quiet location. Small beautiful garden to sit outside

    The breakfast was great, the staff was very quick to refill and clean everything

    The bathrooms were not properly cleaned or after a day we were there then not at all, towels were laid ready but neither toilet, wash basin or shower cleaned. That's what we said at the reception. I must say that was inadequate for the chambermaids or cleaning staff.

    Beautiful modern and comfortable rooms where you can feel at home. There is also a very nice courtyard. The location is such that one can get to all sightseeings within walking distance.

    Unfortunately we could only stay one night and had to leave early in the morning. We thought that was a great pity.

    The location here was ideal, just a 5-minute walk from a charming museum, while the standard room had pleasant piped music and the bar was already prepared upon our arrival.

    the location was close to city center

    card key did not work. Room was dirty (used towel on floor, used shampoo bottle on sink). Hotel was very loud (very little sound insulation). Shower was extremely small -- kept accidentally turning off the water as I turned around in the shower (kept bumping the handle)
