City Center Comfort

on-site parking breakfast variety central location flexible staff

The hotel had parking on site for 16 euros per night. Breakfast offered a variety of options. The hotel's location was very close to the city center. Everything was within walking distance. The staff demonstrated flexibility and allowed a late check-out.

The air conditioning unit made noise when it was turned off, and there was also noise at night which sounded like furniture being moved.

The breakfast offered a good start to the day. It featured a complete set of items one would expect. I found the selection to be more than adequate with several choices. All seemed fresh and well stocked.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

small bathroom noisy ac

The hotel's location is quite central , , made getting around easy.

The room was quite small , particularly the bathroom. The noise level was a problem . I could hear everything happening in the hallway, like elevator doors and people talking. Also , the air conditioning unit was noisy , even when it was turned off.
