Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was overall great! The rooms had a beautiful terrace and were clean, equipped with toiletries, a hairdryer, TV, and free Wi-Fi. However, the room was a bit cramped and located close to a bright hotel sign that affected my sleep. The service was fantastic, with the staff being nice, welcoming, and helpful. The location was ideal, within walking distance of the historical quarter and the main train station. The dining experience was wonderful, although the breakfast room felt a bit cramped. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel has a charming European feel and is within easy walking distance of key tourist sites. The rooms are clean and warm, resembling ship cabins, with the bonus of additional complimentary coffee. The staff was incredibly accommodating despite a large group of high school students, and the dining experience, although generally good, had some minor flaws. The location is ideal for exploring both the Old Town and New Town areas, with a short walk to the train station.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were very nice and big, clean, comfortable, and had a nice romantic balcony, perfect for our purposes. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to key attractions. The dining experience was great with a wide variety of choices. Can't wait to go back!
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, and the breakfast was fabulous. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was excellent. However, the beds were a bit too small for my liking.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, though not as large as expected. The service was friendly and efficient, despite a slight issue with extra charges. The location was excellent, close to main attractions without being noisy. The dining experience was abundant and well-presented. Overall, a good value for the money.
