The room was clean. The bathroom had no counter space for toiletries. The breakfast was not very good. Had only one coffee machine for a lot of people and was often out of milk, water etc. The only hot item (eggs) was always out, even at 8:30 am when breakfast is supposed to go til 10:00 am The location is excellent to the train and bus station

Nice hotel located close to city center (10-20 minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, attractions). We appreciate the early check in and underground safe parking (about Euro 20/night). Spacious rooms. Refrigerator did not cool much. WiFi did not work. A/C worked well.

We wanted a hotel with parking close to the ferry terminal for the next morning. This fit the bill. It was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful especially with a lot of luggage. Diverse array of breakfast foods were available the next morning. The area is busy and street parking is difficult. Fortunately they have a garage below with easy in/out access.
