Fantastic Stay in Ideal Location
perfect locationfriendly staffearly check-in
The hotel's location was perfect. It was easy to reach the city center. The staff members were super friendly and helpful. I was able to check in early, really convenient (saved me so much time!).
The room was tiny for two people, making it difficult to move around, especially with luggage.
Rooms
9/10
The room included comfortable beds. The cozy interior made the space inviting, and everything was clean upon arrival and kept tidy daily, which I value.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast offered many choices, and I especially enjoyed the variety of options. A basket with gluten-free bread was available, a thoughtful touch, as usually, I have to request that, so I was happy to see it.
Facilities
10/10
The hotel is located right on the city wall, offering a great photo opportunity. The front desk was helpful in settling everything (I had a small issue with my taxi) and gave me a warm smile with wishes when I left.

The location was very close to the city center. I found it a nice area to walk around. The room felt warm and bright. Everything worked perfectly.
The hotel website promised a safe in the room. I found there was no safe. The website also promised a minibar. This was not available either. I also noticed the square meters listed on the site were not correct as the rooms were smaller.
