    The place is located just outside the city center. A nice walk by the river to the center is pleasant. The room was nice, warm and staff were very very friendly.

    The location couldn't have been better. Staff were friendly and seemed happy to be working there. Family sized rooms were greatly appreciated, it's often hard to find suitable rooms for a family of 5.
