The property is a bit older, but not in a negative way—it simply has that classic feel. Our room was on the 5th floor, and the area was quiet, which made our stay very comfortable. The location is also excellent. Right outside the hotel, there is easy access to the train going to the airport, and several tourist attractions are only a few minutes away on foot. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and if my family and I visit again, I would gladly stay here again. ##### Marvin Mendoza Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sander 20 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Clean room ##### Sander Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heide 4 Mar 2026 Very pleased with our room; very clean, obviously "moderned" up a little for an old hotel.
