The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. Good size TV. The hotel is located very close to the city centre.

Dragosad United Kingdom

Friendly and helpful staff, location, comfortable bed, even if we had room with street view, it wasn't noizy from the very busy street. Good breakfast and dinner. Clean and safety measures against Covid 19 in place ( desinfected remote in the room, alcohol wipes left for the guests, hand sanitizers at each corner). Free parking available in site. We will visit again!
