Great location and staff
Very sympatic hotel, great service and location! The breakfast was wonderful and the breakfast room lovely. After breakfast time it was lounge and you could eat your own food and have coffee on the house. There was also a fridgerator with soft drinks and wine at very reasonable prices. Only down side was that we stayed there only one night. Next time 3 nights at least!

A Timeless Gem – A Perfect Vacation Spot
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property is something truly special. Lovingly restored and fully modernized.
The interior was clean and incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered to create a relaxing atmosphere. The beds were plush. Everything was perfectly presented.
The real showstopper, though, is the location.

We loved our 3 night stay. The staff were very helpful and one of the best parts of being there. The rooms are typical for most of Europe: small, without a lot of extras. But the hotel has a breakfast room/lounge area with coffee and drinks available and a shared fridge to put things in. The breakfast was wonderful and had a wide variety. The room was perfect for us to relax, play cards, have snacks. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Front desk staff was so helpful checking in - gave us suggestions for restaurants, chocolate, sites to see.
Breakfast was great, and nice to have access to coffee and drinks throughout our stay, and balcony to relax.
Convenient location to the train station and old town.
We will be back!

The room and bed were very small for the price. Limited place to store clothes. Breakfast was good. One day was very warm and their was no air conditioning. As far as the shower, it was literally 80cm x 80cm or 90cm x 90 cm. Very small and cramped, so the floor was often flooded. No maid service came on 1 of my 3 days

An unbeatable location very close to the train station, but not loud like being near mass transit can be. The breakfast was nice, and I liked how walkable the area was.

Close to train station, covered bridges, and Old Town, but a bit basic. Front desk personnel were professional and helpful, but the desk and entry are not supervised overnight. One needs a key to enter after hours. Breakfast was plentiful.
