We had a very basic, small room with three beds, but the service and location made up for it. The room was clean and comfortable. The cathedral and train station were a short walk from the hotel. …

Single room was small but adequate. Hotel is a little outdated. Excellent location near parking garage, city central and train station. Air conditioning isn’t in all rooms but was ice cold and that was my primary selling point! Breakfast was quite nice.

What an exceptional experience. This hotel has impressed me to such as extent that I'm now sitting in the balcony of my room writing this review. The customer service is superb, extremely helpful and polite staff, the rooms are simple but comfortable and everything one needs and recently renovated bathrooms. Breakfast is good and forget about machines, they bring you hot coffee in beautiful china to your table. Not to mention the amazing location close to the main station.
