I would recommend this hotel and i will stay there again. It is clean, the staff is very accommodating and the location is excellent. Four to five minute walk to the train station, the bus station, and a grocery store. It is a few minute walk to Planty park and the St. Florian gate to the old town. I would also note that the breakfast is great and plentiful.

Unassuming frontage in a cul-de-sac, but very close to the Old Town & plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants. Comfortable room with air-conditioning, good sound-proof double-glazing despite the train line running right outside the window. Helpful staff recommended cafes etc & advice about tram train & bus services including airport transfer.

Good city centre hotel

Very central hotel and easy to get to the main square. The room faced the train tracks but the trains were fairly quiet. The room had everything required.
