We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are very clean, the views from the rooftop are beautiful (unfortunately a new hotel has blocked 90% of their lake view, but the city and surrounding hills are still very pretty) and the breakfast & milk coffee were delicious. Convenient laundry service available. In a great area - close to the action but off the main street so it’s quieter. It is a fantastic hotel for its very reasonable price point.

Great stay and very helpful staff. Does a lot to try and be as environmentally friendly as possible. Only downside was the water pressure in the shower was severely lacking at times, delivering only a dribble.

Such a friendly place. The room was large, with good air con and hot water. It's not luxury but that's not what we expected for the price, and the extra touches such as the homemade soap/shampoo bar and unlimited drunking water were great. The highlights though were how lovely and helpful the staff were, and the breakfast was so good - different hot options every day with always the choice to have toast or waffles as well as fruit and yoghurt. Great value as it's included in the room price.
