Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a unique lower floor bathroom, and it was an easy walk into the city center. The hotel is next to a beautiful river, perfect for a relaxing stroll. However, the front rooms on the ground floor can be noisy due to the nearby restaurant ventilation shaft, making it a bit inconvenient to keep the windows open at night.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless, with a great walk-in shower and super comfy beds. The staff are incredibly friendly and even stayed late to ensure I found the hotel easily. The location was perfect, close to the city and with a delightful garden to enjoy. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with overcooked bacon, and the dining pricing was a bit on the expensive side.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and quality food, although the room was on the road and train station side, spacious, well-equipped, and nicely furnished. The room was clean and modern but very cold, and the bathroom floor tiles were slippery. However, breakfast was a letdown due to limited choices and high prices.
