Nice room with a great view. Walking distant from most of the touristy areas and from the main train station. The had a complimentary beers and sparkly water which is a nice touch!Everything is on the small side. The 4th floor doesn't have an elevator so you need to take it to the third floor and go up 20 stairs which might be problematic for some people.Some minor stains on the floor and on the wall.Still, I'll recommend it!

My experience was bad, the recepcionists were NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL! Def will not recommend you all to this hotel. I think the staff should be trained better at service excellence to customer. We customers are not the one to be angry at. We did euro trip to 5 cities, this was the WORST service we experience.
