Unfortunately, our room felt quite stuffy, especially on the upper level. The heating seemed excessive, and despite cracking open the window, the air didn't circulate well. While the location was within walking distance to the city, the long trek became tiresome after a long day of exploring.

The hotel fosters a cute atmosphere with complimentary homemade cakes served every afternoon, such a good treat! Plus, the games area with ping pong and foosball made our evenings fun and engaging.
100% recommend 😊❤️

It is a clean and quiet hotel.

Location is good since it lays nearby the city centre but not that close that your sleep could be harmed in any way by the sparkling nightlife in this city...
Breakfast is ok and hotel staff as well but not overwhelmingly charming or kind...

The breakfast spread was fantastic, especially the included homemade cakes every afternoon. The staff were really helpful and friendly, and the communal areas were fun for my family.
the wifi signal was very weak.

Nice breakfast. Quiet rooms. Clean hallways. Free wireless and use of lobby computer. Walked to restaurants and shopping with ease, even late at night (of course it was still light out, being summertime).
Room was kind of smelly with the windows closed. Bathroom had a ventilation issue and the showerhead was somewhat broken. TV did not work, but we didn't need to watch it.

A blond girl at the reception was very very kind, she has suggested many things about the city, offered to us her handmade cakes. The hotel was clean, ten minutes walking from the city center.

This place suits me perfectly! With great amenities like free wi-fi, 24-hour security, and luggage storage, I have everything I need. The staff was so helpful during my first stay with plug adaptors. I'm coming back for a weekend!

The room was very clean and the staff were excellant. The staff arranged a lift from the hotel to the airport as we had an early flight, they also put out some food for us the night before to make sandwiches for breakfast as we would miss it!
