Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, nestled in a nice and quiet area of the city, though there was some music noise near by at night. The rooms had a slightly musky smell, which was a downside, especially with two young kids, but they were equipped with a balcony providing a lovely evening arrival experience. The service was top-notch, friendly, and very helpful, even assisting us in getting bus tickets without proof. The dining experience was a highlight for us, offering the best breakfast range we've encountered during our European travels. However, the traditional and local imprinting was missing in the dining options. The facilities were great, and the hotel is well-connected to the city center.
The hotel had a bit of a retro vibe but was spacious and clean with a cool AC. The beds were comfortable and the daily cleaning services kept everything neat. The service was a bit inconsistent. While some staff members were lovely and accommodating, others were not as helpful. The location was convenient with easy access to the main visiting sites. The dining experience was mixed, with some okay options but lacking variety. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is tucked away at the back with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The staff were courteous, even guiding me to my room when I couldn't find it initially. The delicious cakes are a must-try. However, the room's remote control was a bit tricky to figure out.
My stay at the hotel provided a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location was amazing, away from the city's crowds, with lovely views of the countryside. The rooms were spacious and clean, though the bathrooms were a bit outdated. The service was adequate, with some room for improvement in friendliness and helpfulness. The dining options offered variety but could be of better quality. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
The hotel had a few pros such as comfortable rooms for 3 adults, friendly and dedicated service, and a good location near the Obi Hall and historic center. However, the room renovation was subpar, and there were issues with insects in the room.
I found the hotel to be a cozy place with clean and well-kept rooms, albeit a bit compact. The small balcony was a nice touch, and overall, it was a pleasant stay. However, the remote buildings without keys to the main halls were a bit inconvenient.
