Only good review I have is the bed, as I needed a good night sleep. Everything else was very poor. Reception on arrival were slow miserable and not helpful with no enthusiasm. Expensive small glass aperitivo from the “bar” and we could not drink them as they tasted so bad. The glasses were still on the table a few hrs later. The food was awful.. rubbery and burnt. How can you serve thick rubbery veg and tough chicken with burnt chips at a 4*? as well as the staff with no enthusiasm. Max 2*

Das Hotel hat mit den Bildern auf den verschiedenen Seiten nichts zu tun. Von der Tiefgarage aus bekommt man schon den ersten schlechten Eindruck von dem Hotel. Von dort aus geht man über einen Gang mit einem alten, schmutzigen roten Teppich zu einen Aufzug der alles andere als sauber und gepflegt aussieht. Das gleiche betrifft alle Gänge zu den Zimmer. Die Zimmer selbst sind sauberer als das Hotel aber sehr altgebacken.

A bit distant location, but a nice hotel

Reception was friendly and helpful. Room was very big and kind of retro style. Breakfast room was crowded and a bit difficult to use when there were a lot of people. Location is about 3-4km from the city centre, but you can find restaurants, cafés and a supermarket just around the hotel. Also self service laundry is right next to the hotel. One negative (that couldn't be quickly found out on the hotel description) was the use of the pool. Pool is a part of SPA services and that means you'll have to pre reserve it and pay for it. 15e/2,5h. But in the heat it was worth it. Pool area is very small, but nice.
