We reserved parking which was next to the hotel. Breakfast was fresh European style. The king sized bed was huge- they put 2 twins together. Nice hotel. The elevator is really small it fit 2 people with 2 large pieces of luggage and that’s it. Staff very helpful. Would stay there again.

Really nice staff. Let us check in a few hours early. Didn’t realise the minibar was free until the last night! Never mind. Bear in mind its location as it can be fairly noisy as expected with hotels in the city with traffic and city services. Perfect location though. Thanks. Steve & Emma

Excellent location, close to two major pedestrian streets and the large market area. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Rooms were typically smaller, as common in Europe, and lacked sitting - no chair/couch or similar, and no counter space at all in bathroom.
