It was convenient to the train station, had nice, clean rooms and it was great to be able to arrive as early as 2pm! It was quite expensive compared to the value and I would have appreciated if the reception was open to giving me a late check out of one hour, but they were not willing to entertain it. It served our purpose well though, so I am happy.

My room was very nice, enough space, spotless and felt newly renovated. The overall feel of the hotel is old and in need of updating - maybe they haven’t finished the job yet. This hotel is centrally located. Has a private car park and offers breakfast included. Overall great.

Good hotel but not in hot days

The hotel was without AC and the temperature was 35 deg during the day. No chance to cool down during the night without opening the window. It was right over the main street with a lot of traffic so the noise was terrible. With the closed window, it was impossible to breath.

Out of 7 light bulbs in the room only 1 was working. The toilet seat is not fixed to the toilet. The heating radiator needs to be vented (constant water splashing noise).
