The way I was greeted by the receptionist is unacceptable. Not only he was rude and not welcoming but he was not willing to help in any manner. I do not recommend this hotel.

Perfect hotel
Great little hotel. All the staff was super nice. Room was bigger then expected for a European hotel. We wished we would have gotten the breakfast deal, next time.
A big plus I was the free bus-tram passes.
I would definitely stay here again.

It’s old and poorly maintained. There is hot water but the shower head drops. I was kindly loaned a kettle for the stay. Rather costly for what it is but I was only there to shower and sleep. Thank you

It was a good stay, staff friendly and generally helpful. We did ask for extra pillows and towels, only 1 bath and 1 hand towel in the room, for two people, but did not receive the asked for items.
Hotel in a good location for the train station and central city area. The hotel interior was a little tired but perfectly clean.

10 minutes walk to city centre, nice hotel with very friendly staffs. Breakfast is continental selections with bacon and eggs, good enough to start our day. The room we stay with nice balcony overview the street. The bathroom is very tidy and clean but a bit old fashion. We saw the room next door with fresh look bathroom, maybe next time should request the renovated bathroom room. Overall very nice hotel.
