We chose this hotel because the overall price was very competitive compared to other options in the area, and it turned out to be a great decision. The view from our room was truly amazing; we booked a premium view room and it was absolutely worth it. Parking was available on-site and, although open-air, it was convenient and easy to use. The staff were helpful throughout our stay, and we only have good things to say about their service. Cleanliness met expectations, and the breakfast offered plenty of options, making for a very satisfying start to each day. Considering that the hotel was operating during the off‑season and the building shows its age in some areas, the excellent location and stunning views more than compensated. The winter heating worked well, and we were perfectly comfortable during our stay. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and good value for money.

It is a kilometre away from city centre but if you walk a half a kilometer, you will find restaurants, they just won’t have the same energy as the city center, which if you’re looking for a quiet environment is perfect. The staff were super friendly and I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody looking for an out of this world experience.
