Our room was for 3 persons and it had 2 bathrooms which was nice. The sofa bed was not very comfortable. The hotel has a few steps to go up and the hotel lobby is on the 6th floor, accessible by a lift. The steps are inconvenient when carrying luggage.

Centrally located between the lake and the old town. Staff are wonderfully welcoming and helpful. Hotel is tired looking and would benefit from redecoration.

We stayed in a bunk bed room without a toilet. It was perfectly nice and comfortable. Beware the bunk bed was quite squeaky with any movement, so just be aware of that. Otherwise, our stay and room were great.

Great location in old town area with easy access from bus or tram stops. Lots of great places to eat within easy walking distance. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
We had booked the last available room and although it wasn’t ideal for us it was clean and convenient for our one night stay.

Great location and close to transport and centre with shopping. Supermarket 2min walk. Room very clean and bright but the shower and toilet very very small. Noise coming from street but to be expected as in centre (ear plugs in room) however ok when doors shut. Friendly staff.

This hotel was in a shopping complex, & I did have a few problems trying to find the entrance. I also had a few issues trying to connect my laptop with the WIFI. But in the end I managed to get access to the WIFI The staff were really helpful with the room being cleaned in the morning, but without the pressure to get out early
