The hotel rooms could use some modernization and a bit more cleanliness. It's located a bit far from the city center but offers a convenient shuttle service for a small extra fee. However, considering the quality provided, the price seems high, and I wouldn't recommend it for the value.

Returning for the second time in twelve months, the hotel was an ideal choice for our short stay. The rooms were really nice and clean, with comfortable beds and lovely big windows offering views of the green spaces around the back. However, there was some noise from staff moving beds in other rooms, and the cleanliness, especially in the bathroom, could have been better.

My second stay at this hotel was ideal for our short visit. The spacious rooms had everything I needed, although more plug sockets would have been convenient. The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful, addressing any issues promptly. The location, while not the most convenient for city access, provided a country environment and easy walk to the old town. The dining experience was good but could offer a better range of food options.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed, but more plug sockets in suitable places would have been better. The shower riser rail was broken, and it was quite cold until the heating was adjusted. Despite a minor incident with someone using our room number for a drink order, the front desk handled it well.

The hotel had clean rooms with some cycling details, though not soundproofed well, and we encountered unwanted sounds from the neighboring room. The room matched the pictures but was very cold initially, requiring multiple requests to the front desk to adjust the heating. The shower riser rail was broken, someone misused our room number to order drinks, but the front desk promptly rectified the issue. Overall, a mixed experience with room comfort and amenities.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center with limited nearby dining options outside the hotel. It was a long walk to town, and taxis were available but costly.

The dining options were decent but lacked variety. There was a minor issue with the breakfast temperature on one morning, though it wouldn't deter me from staying again.
