We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The breakfast was delicious and they even accommodated our forgotten choice. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is within walking distance of the city center, making it convenient for exploring this city.
Can’t fault the property in any way.

The hotel was clean and had all the facilities I needed. I appreciated the parking option and the fact that it was located in a side street, which made it quiet over the weekend. The location was perfect as it was close to all the tourist places and I could easily walk to the city center. Additionally, the breakfast was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Nothing that I didn't like.

The location was fabulous, close to the city center and within walking distance of the castle. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, and the facilities were great.
No negatives from this place. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
