    It felt a little understaffed, we waited quite a while at the bar waiting for service but otherwise all positive.

    We enjoyed this hotel, it had a quality feel to it and was very well located.

    The hotel is a little dated and while the room was well presented it lacked a fridge and was a little small.

    perfect location close to restaurants and sights. The staff were super friendly and helpful and always available to assist. The beds were comfortable, and the room was well serviced and very clean.

    Not much! If I'm being nitpicky, it would be nice to have dish soap to clean dishes and maybe wine glasses ;) Breakfast is always great but maybe could be stocked a tad better for us latecomers.

    This hotel has been our midway stop from Barcelona to Switzerland for more than ten years. The staff has always been amiable, attentive, and accepting of our canine daughter :) We usually book the junior suite which is spacious and with nice amenities. We will keep coming back!

    Could have better explained how to arrive by car. Eventually we made it to the parking area in the inner courtyard, but we had to stop on the curb first in front of the hotel to find out what we had to do.

    The breakfast room was large and well lit with a lot on offer.

    The hotel blocked 100 euros per credit card which we rarely experienced in a hotel.

    The family suite was nicely distributed and there was a fridge and a coffee maschine. Check in and parking was easy as the parking is in an seperated backyard. The location was really nice and you could reach plenty of restaurants and the old city center after a 5 minute walk.

    Unfourtunatly when we arrived the elevator was not working. The staff did put us in a room on as low a floor as possible and helped us with our luggage.

    Hotel in a good central location. The hotell is very dog friendly and there is a large park within a 5 minute walk from the hotel, perfect for dog walking. We had a room facing the main street and it was surprisingly quiet in the room with the windows closed. There are lots of restaurants and shops very close by. Parking is in an open area at the back of the hotel and it is secure. It is suitable for large cars and cars with roof boxes.
