I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was very convenient for exploring the old town, the rooms were uncomfortably cold in the mornings. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was a bit of confusion resolving an issue I had. Overall, it was spacious and comfortable, but the noise from nearby places made it less ideal for relaxation.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a charming place with a perfect location near the city center. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful throughout my stay. However, the rooms need some serious attention, especially regarding upkeep, with shabby carpets and wallpaper. Still, it offers good value for the price, especially considering its convenience and the friendly service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is excellent, just a short distance from the railway station and very close to the park and cinema. However, the rooms were a bit disappointing due to low ceilings and having only small windows, which made them feel cramped. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to help, but the check-in process felt a bit unprofessional. Overall, it offers good value for money, but the room experience could be improved.

The hotel is conveniently located just outside the Old Town, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were friendly and very helpful, which made my stay more pleasant. However, the rooms were in need of refurbishment and the noise from the street made it hard to sleep. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but there are some drawbacks that could be improved.

The hotel is situated in a great area, conveniently close to the park and only a short walk from the railway station, making it easy to explore the city. While the rooms were situated in a quiet part of the property, I found the diagonal wooden support beams a bit hazardous at night. The service staff was friendly, but sometimes felt a bit unprofessional and could have offered more guidance. Overall, it provided good value for money, particularly with the extensive breakfast buffet.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was truly fantastic, close to the center and key attractions. The rooms themselves were spacious but lacked some essential amenities like a working air conditioner. The service varied; while some staff were friendly and helpful, others stretched my patience. Dining was decent but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it had its ups and downs, but it's worth considering for the location alone.

The hotel offers a clean and classy environment, with good service from friendly staff.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the location is unbeatable, being so close to the city center and easy to reach from the airport. The breakfast was one of the best I've had during my travels in Europe. However, the rooms were a bit overheated and didn't cool down, which was uncomfortable. The service left something to be desired, as the receptionists didn’t seem as professional as I had hoped.
