Located in an commercial area close to the fair. Works on the main road causes traffic jam in the moment. Rooms large and clean, but influence of humidity can be watched in the bathroom.

Very clean and comfortable room. Front desk staff were friendly and fast at check in and check out. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. Be aware that the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and with the current construction on the roads in between, this walk is over uneven terrain that will be challenging with heavy bags. So, highly recommended but caveat emptor if you're not arriving by car.

The hotel is in great condition, modern and comfortable amenities. The temperature of our room was way too warm for the period and in fact the whole corridor was extremely warm. To be fair to the hotel we have not asked for help with our aircon in the room but it was a central unit. The restaurant dining experience is pricey and the food was not good. Meals seemed thawed and not well seasoned. The price was definitely out of line for the quality. Very good breakfast though, must be said.

Nice hotel but definitely not 4*.
- Room is beaten up and needs to be refreshed: carpet is stained and bedding is very thin. Not very comfortable. AC was not functioning so the room was unbearably hot (although it wasn't even that hot outside)
Bare minimum of toiletries (hand soap and shower gel/shampoo only)
Restaurant :
- Breakfast has a large selection although everything is quite bland
We did have dinner there the last night by lack of other choices in the area and were absolutely surprised by the quality of dinner. Very different than breakfast. Portions were unexpectedly big and everything was very tasty and fresh. (Pork belly was delicious)
Staff is mostly very friendly
Easy to park
Pool looked nice but we didn't try it
Convenient drive to the airport and not too far from city center, but you need to have a car to move around
- we didn't use the fitness center but it was tiny

The hotel was OK. The food for dinner was so and so. I hate it when restaurants charge you for stuff you didn't order or want or ate. It's not that I'm cheap, it a principe thing. It's wrong. There was some bread on the table when we arrived to eat that we noticed it was already on the tables when we were in the pool. We noticed flies around so we made a note not to touch the bread (which was probably dry also). When we got to the table later on, the same bread was there so we said thanks but no thanks. Then the waiter comes with some meatball like stuff to the table that we didn't order or want or ate. At the end we had to pay 18 euro for the bread and 6 for the ball thingies. It's not a huge amount of money but it's wrong to "scam" your customers into paying for stuff they didn't order. This never happened to us in other countries (nor back home in Sweden). We will not to be back.
