Very good hotel with great staff

Very nice hotel. We had large and very comfortable room. The lighting at the one end of the room was not ideal. The garbage and recycling was small for empty water bottles. Very good location, 15 minute walk to the centre of the city. We had an issue for a plug for hairdryerand extended cord to front door outlet. The use of paper cups in the roomwas interesting but glasses at water station in the lobby. Overall great accommodating staff.

Our stay was most enjoyable. In particular the young lady on reception...wish I had got her name, was very helpful and friendly. The secure parking underground was great. Chargeable but worth your car being secure. The breakfast was good and had some GF options once we asked. The hotel is easy walking distance to most tourist areas. The only negative thing I would say is that the bathroom especially the toilet area was quite small.

My family enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. We liked the overall ambiance. The breakfast buffet was one of the best, even though it was 18 euros per person. Parking was easy, on premises. Two special features that stood out: free lovely live music on Friday night and a water dispensing machine with sparking water. I’d stay again in this hotel the future.
