The hotel is centrally located, you can walk to the market square in 10 minutes. Our room on the top floor was nice, clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast buffet was excellent. …

I feel cheated! Were invited to a family celebration at this hotel which took place on Saturday. Since we wanted to arrive on Friday, I booked the room by phone for the night from Friday to Saturday. And asked about the price, which should be 185 euros. So we arrived on Friday and wanted to check in and get two rooms because there were three of us, two adults and one child. We were surprised and asked if the price would stay the same. The lady said I would take a look. Yes, the room costs 185 euros, you don't have to pay extra for the second room. Okay, we think so. And when we wanted to pay for the night on Sunday we suddenly had to pay 260 euros for the night and there was no talking to the unfriendly receptionist so we had the boss call who was exactly incompetent. I just feel cheated! I asked twice what it cost and they said 260 euros. We should have also received a booking confirmation with the price but we didn't! But my aunt, who didn't even know we were coming on Friday.

Massive and unacceptable noise pollution from an event in the neighborhood, the staff apologized but didn't want to do anything. That may have been an exception, but at €150/night I was hoping for some guarantee of a comfortable night.The rooms are very nice, the staff attentive and friendly, the breakfast acceptable but also too expensive for what is available. I didn't test the sauna or fitness area.

Nice hotel, friendly staff.€6.50 for 0.75 liters. I think water at the reception for the room is really cheeky. Sorry but I will probably never stay here again. Sorry guys.

Almost 5 stars but the breakfast buffet was very meager, cheap coffee in a pot, cappuccino costs extra, sauna area without a whirlpool function and is getting old, towels and towels for the sauna also cost extra. Kind regards
