Sparkling clean, spacious room. Lovely bath. Modern facilities. Electrical appliances in the room and bathroom are as good as new. Being close to the train station, there are good connections to local transport, but it's still quiet. We didn't use breakfast or any other services. We'd love to come back.

The hotel is in a great location right next to the train station. We were there for the second time and this time we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a suite. The suite blew us away, a large living area with dining table, small kitchen, separate toilet, bathroom with bathtub and shower and a large bedroom. It was very clean and the staff was again very friendly. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired and is constantly refilled. We can only recommend the hotel, the price-performance ratio is in balance. We will definitely come back here.

Stayed here on 5 & 6 oct 2024. single room. Room was cold for me and the heating is central. apparently it can't be individually controlled in the room according to the male staff i spoke with after midnight of 6 oct when he came to check if my heater is spoilt. He was rude and asked why i didn't raise the issue on the first night when i stayed. Telephone line was also spoilt so have to use my mobile to call reception.

The staff were consistently friendly, with the female employees being particularly positive.A major point of criticism concerns the food on offer during the three-day conference: only pork was served, without offering any alternatives. What was particularly worrying was that even the dessert contained pork without it being labeled. A greater variety of dishes and clear labeling of ingredients would have been desirable to meet the different dietary habits and needs of participants.
