Fantastic location, helpful and nice staff, very comfy beds and rooms equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The complimentary snacks and drinks were delightful. As it is centrally located (close to bars, pubs and restaurants) some rooms might get a bit noisier, but still a great hotel experience.

The room was great overall! It had a good size and was very clean. The bathroom was the best part however (spacious with big shower). The room had a private garden, but it was cold and rainy during our stay, so unfortunately we couldn't enjoy it. There was an electric kettle, coffee/tea provided, hairdryer. The hotel has a great location and is around 40 min on foot/ 20 min with the bus from the old town. Many small shops and cafes in the areas as well. The cleaning lady was very kind.

Location of the hotel was just outside where city centre ends. Family room was good in size with 1 bunk bed, 1 double bed, 1 single bed and 1 sofa cum bed. Enough space to sleep 6 with spacious bathroom. Hotel has been renovated last year so modern look inside. Basically you will get what you see in net.
