Reviews
Overall it was a pleasure experience.
The only downside is that it's a bit of a walk to the cathedral, about 1.5 kilometers. Public transport here can be expensive, so walking and enjoying the scenery along the way is a good option.
The staff Kyra is very friendly and helpful, throughout our 2-week trip in Europe, she was on my top 1.
The size of the room is great with a pretty large wash basin outside the toilet, so it is very convenient.
The room comes with a kettle, a complimentary bottle of sparkling water, 2pcs of mini chocolate, a few packets of coffee and tea. For less than 100euro a night, this is a very nice touch.
In the lobby there are water station and fruit basket.
Really love this hotel.
pay on top for change just to
not loose money. During 2 months before check in date I was calling multiple times to
hotel, they were sending me to each other, back to trip.com and noone helped to change situation. Money were just lost. Hotel looked good but i was not able to see it from inside.
