9/10 Wonderful! (426 reviews)

This property was great, it’s in a perfect location to explore the old town. There’s a sauna that costs 9€ per hour available to guests, and a fitness room which, while small, was perfect for someone who works out a lot but hasn’t been able to the past couple weeks on a trip. The room was spacious and clean, however the A/C didn’t work and the bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Overall I enjoyed my stay here.
