Excellent stay overall

Fantastic stay. We had a great time. Everyone was wonderful. The only negative is the access to the building via the front door is not suitable for people with mobility issues. There is an exit via the back door. This is not accessible to enter.

Was in a good area and gave a voucher which reduced the overnight parking lot from 29 euros to 11 euros. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and did the job for our one night stay. Reasonable rate would stay again.

Nice room. Quiet for a good night's sleep. Hotel staff were very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay. We wish we had been told about the discounted parking garage that's associated with the hotel before we checked in though. We had already paid to park somewhere else. Maybe listing it on the website or on Expedia or Google would help others.

One of the best!

Our room was so spacious, and so was the bath! The bed and pillows were very comfortable, too! The staff were super friendly and so helpful whenever we had questions! The location is excellent; directly by the pedestrian zone, but still very quiet!

Convenient location and comfortable

A very convenient and central location, but also quiet which was nice. Absolutely loved the breakfast with the variety and how easy it was to take anything to go - especially if you have early tours in the morning or need to run to catch a bus elsewhere. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Sleep was good. The bathroom is small though, especially the shower. If you're a bigger person, it might be uncomfortable and door easily opens so you have to be careful water doesn't leak out, but it was okay.
