    Liked: The location. It is just right on the corner of the main streets. The room was spacious, beds big and comfortable. Have to say the matrace was a little bit too hard for me, but for others family members it was ok

    Disliked: The smell in the room. It was because of the moisture in the room, in the morning you could see windows from the inside covered in condensation. Also the toilet, it definitely needs something, because we could smell the piss. Good that we didn't have to stay in the room for a long time. BtW after the cleaning the smell was gone both mornings, probably they are using something to make it go away, because after the first flush it was there again. Ok

    Overall, we had a wonderful stay in a charming hotel with an excellent location, delicious breakfast

    Liked: Excellent location, very good breakfast, helpful staff, and soft beds. We stayed in the old part of the hotel, which had its own charm. You could hear the wooden floors creaking and squeaking, adding to the character of the place.

    Disliked: Everything was excellent, but there was no ventilation in the bathroom. There were also no bathrobes or slippers provided, despite them being mentioned in the description.

    Great hotel in the middle of the city center with outstanding staff

    Liked: We loved the room, spacious and with a nice view. The staff was very friendly and provided some additional services that made us feel even more welcome. The breakfast was great, a large variety and replenished more than sufficiently.

    Disliked: Not really anything. If any, there was a strange smell in the toilet but since that was separate it didn’t really matter to us.
