to get started.

Good breakfast. Great location. Room small (single room) but everything you'd need and fine for one night.

Free umbrellas, super high quality breakfast, best location, friendly staff, comfy beds, nice rooms. Private parking garage 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Ask the reception for a code to enter the pedestrian area in which the hotel is located in tk easily drop luggage.

Noamikko, United States of America

Great location in Old Town, room was well appointed and updated. Lovely complimentary breakfast and staff was comfortable in accommodating us in English. Free Wi-Fi is a deal breaker- it was easy to connect all devices during our stay. my mom and I were traveling together and the room was plenty spacious enough. Would recommend to anyone!

They changed the room from the one that I booked. The room we were put in was very small. The guest information was in German only. The ladies at reception were great, very helpful. The male manager we saw in the morning seemed to dislike us.

Just one thing baffled me. In my bathroom the body lotion dispenser was located outside the shower whereas the shampoo dispenser was in the shower. It wasn’t possible to reach it without opening the shower doors!
The quality and variety of food at breakfast time was excellent.

The juice is awful (as commented on by others), being weak and more like childhood orange squash. The lift does sometimes smell badly - stagnant water at base of shaft?
Breakfast generally very good with plenty to select from and pleasant staff.

Staff on front desk were very curt. Breakfast was not replenished so on 3 mornings no croissants. The smell in the lift was terrible. Bed linen not changed on a 3 night stay. Room was freezing cold and the quilts were not warm enough. Problem for Taxi drop off - the old town has bollards and if you don’t have a local taxi they can’t drop off or collect, it’s a pain with luggage.
Really easy to get around town from the hotel. The Restaurant was excellent as were the staff. Room was clean.
