The hotel is well situated near to the main train station and well connected to the bus and tram lines. The hotel was very clean and the family room was very comfortable offering two single beds for our two children (aged 16 and 11). Breakfast was delicious which we enjoyed in the summer terrace. Staff at the hotel were very helpful and polite with great recommendations for restaurants.

Great hotel! Included breakfast was really good with hot and cold options available. Location was fantastic. We walked to both the train station and the bus station easily for excursions. So many good restaurants close by as well as shopping. Many chocolate shops close also. I definitely would stay here again!

We really enjoyed this property based on location, convenient to the train station but easily walkable to everywhere. The staff was wonderful, from the moment we rolled up with luggage to the moment we checked out. And they have AC! Real AC, which was hard to find in many comprable hotels throughout our trip.
