Easily within walkable distance of the train station, the location was perfect for us. So much to do and see in the immediate vicinity. The continental breakfast had plenty of options, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our rooms and the amenities. The lounge area was fun and vibrant. The price was very reasonable and vouchers for free transit for 24 hours was most appreciated. Dolphin assisted us and went above and beyond, ensuring we made the right tram to the airport. We would definitely stay at this hotel again!

During Eurovision so outside was noisy, crowded and probably not as clean as usual. But big police presence and didn’t see many problems considering number of people. Good job! And a beautiful, charming city. I’d love to return when it’s quieter.
