Great Location: The hotel is conveniently located near a main square and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city during my weekend stay.
Limited Answers from Reception: I found the reception staff to be unhelpful, as they gave limited and brief answers to any questions I had.

I had an amazing stay at a conveniently located hotel with a fun and friendly atmosphere. The property was cute and easy to find from the train station. I loved that I could easily walk to all the major sights, and even had time to visit the zoo and the papermill museum, which was fantastic! The breakfasts were great, with a variety of hot and cold options. Plus, my kid ate for free! it was a delightful experience.

Was all great.

The hotel is perfectly located on the edge of the old town, making it really convenient to explore the city. It is also very close to the bus stop, which is great for getting around. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with excellent power showers in the bathrooms. Additionally, the gym and sauna facilities are top-notch, perfect for those who enjoy staying active during their travels.
The breakfast options were quite poor, which was a disappointment.

This place is a modern and stylish hotel that provides enhanced comfort and quality services. The staff here are friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to make sure all my needs were met. The rooms are fresh and light, with very comfortable beds and great showers. I loved the lovely toiletries provided in the bathroom. In the mornings, the breakfast spread was impressive with a good range of tasty food, teas, and coffee. The location of this hotel is also fantastic, situated just above the old city on a hill above the river. It offers easy access to the old town via steps, making it convenient to explore the area.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious stay.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience. The location was really convenient, as it was just a short walk from the old city and near many tram stops. The room itself was modern and stylish, with comfortable beds and great toiletries in the bathroom. I especially loved the terrace outside the room, which provided stunning views of the river and surrounding area. The staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly, which made my stay even better.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a comfortable and luxurious stay in the city. The service was top-notch and the amenities were all excellent.

Had an amazing Easter weekend at this hotel! The location was incredibly convenient, just a short walk to all the major sights. The breakfast spread was fantastic, offering a variety of hot and cold options. Plus, my child ate for free! We also loved the funky and stylish contemporary design of the rooms, with the glass wall in the bathroom letting in lots of natural light. The courtyard was a great place to relax with its comfy furnishings and chill-out music.
The expensive breakfast, but we found it easy to stroll into town and grab a croissant instead. Also, the bed and pillows were just average, and the room could have been cooler at night.
