10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is very well located for visiting the old city centre on foot, and is a 20 minute walk from the train station. My room was large, clean and quiet. It had A/C (though I didn’t really need it) and a mini-fridge. I took the English breakfast option, which was a good choice as there are not many breakfast cafes nearby. My one quibble was with the bathroom, which had a shower in the tub with a glass door which leaked water on the floor. Hotel offered a late checkout option of 1 pm (vs 12 pm) for £10, which was worth it for me. Hotel has a large pay parking lot, useful for people travelling by car."

"Hotel staff were great. I used the gym and pool facilities on this occasion. Gym was large and had an additional small gym room too. Sauna. Jacuzzi and pool were great. However the steam room was not working. Rooms are clean and breakfast has a great variety. Coffee machines had minimal items available which was a shame."
