Summary of reviews

Guests say
Overall, guests were highly impressed with the hotel's central location, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The breakfast received outstanding praise for its variety and quality. Many guests highlighted the friendly and attentive service from the staff. Cleanliness was also noted positively by several reviewers. However, a recurring negative was the small room size, which some found cramped and difficult to navigate, especially with luggage. Despite this, the positives of location, breakfast, and service stood out strongly in the reviews.

Philip, Jul 2017
Pros (+) A fine hotel with comfortable rooms. The location was perfect. The breakfast was very good for the level of hotel - a good range including local specialities if you want to try. Very helpful and friendly front office staff impressively multilingual.
Cons (-) The atmosphere was a bit close in the room and a supplied fan only helped a bit.

Pros (+) The fourth floor breakfast room serves a very complete offering. Nice touch is that the menu varies slightly day-to-day.
