Avoid this hotel. They engage in mismanagement, deception, and unfair trade practices. At busy times, they overbook their hotel and if there are not enough spontaneous cancellations, they start calling off guests themselves. …

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this hotel. I was under the impression that their hotel cost 65 euros per night. Unfortunately, upon arrival, it turned out that we had to pay 95 euros. …

Hotel and room are nice, what was horrible was the drilling in the wall at 8 in the morning. We came here at midnight after a long drive, so we really needed to sleep in a bit more than 8. Not thoughtful of the guests who come to a hotel to sleep at all.

We will definitely return to this hotel. We stayed in a family room together with children with 4 beds. Modern room, very neat and clean. Child friendly hotel, staff provided crayons, coloring books and plush pillows as a parting gift. Service very nice and helpful, varied and tasty buffet, everyone will find something for themselves. Our son does not tolerate lactose, the staff prepared special milk for us. The gentleman at the reception desk was very nice and competent, he printed us a map of the city and surroundings, very helpful.
