Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The room's first-floor location gives a touch of luxury, but small windows might not suit everyone. The soundproof rooms are a great feature, especially for avoiding noise during events. Remote-controlled curtains add to the modern feel, although some may find them impersonal. Customer service needs improvement, but there are some helpful touches. The location provides a nice view but lacks nearby amenities. The dining experience is average, with room for improvement. Facilities offer basic services with room for enhancement.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the old town, offering spacious and comfortable rooms with a small balcony to enjoy the evening air and view. However, the room design may not be the most practical or tasteful.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms with high ceilings and sky-lights, despite looking a bit different in the booking pictures. The small balcony added a nice touch, making the double room feel cozy. However, the price could be a bit more budget-friendly, considering the overall value for money.
