to get started.

The location was good but the hotel is very outdated.

Lauren, United States of America

Staffs were all very warm and friendly. Breakfast cost Euro 10 per person including children is considered slightly expensive but the quality of food and drink served was very very good.

Norfarizan, Malaysia

The reception staff were fantastic, particularly the young blonde lady who always went the extra mile for guests. They are a great credit to the hotel! The little balcony. Comfortable bed and room. Location could not be better.

Maree, Australia

Location was very good. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast buffet was very good.

Great, helpful and friendly staff. The room was clean, everything worked well. But it is very dated, something out of a movie set in the 70's or 80's . The location was excellent.

We paid for parking with the hotel but really it is only suitable for very small cars.. very difficult to find and you have to stop in the street to wait for someone to open the gate.. not easy with a larger car as you block the road. It would be easier to park in a public carpark but probably more expensive
Clean large room which was well equipped

I booked a 20m2 single room with one double bed and a city view according to the description, which wasn’t available. Instead they gave me a room cluttered with 3 beds trying to present it as an upgrade. More space was why I had booked that hotel and surely not unneeded additional beds. The view turned out to be opposite the windows of the other building across the very narrow street.
A clean hotel in a very convenient location.
