Very good hotel, it deserve a 5 star grading ! Top service from very polite professional personnel.

Conveniently situated near the main train station, very good fresh peaceful breakfast, silent and conformable room with full over equip super clean bathroom.

Kelly

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was a good location, staff friendly and parking convenient. However- the rooms were stuck on 27• C and incredibly stuffy. We were told that fans were not working. I would also say that the shower/bath combos were difficult to use and the half door meant everything got wet. No water pressure at all and hard to shower in.

Excellent location, easy walk from the train station. Close to the lake, the (free) tram, and a number of good restaurants. Challenges were major construction going on right outside my room (it was incredibly noisy during my stay in March 2026, which was rough after flying all night). My room's closet was broken (you couldn't open it), as was the sink handle. But the staff were kind and thoughtful, especially the dining room staff.
