Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfy, offering a view of the Dom Tower, although there were a few steep stairs to navigate. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, with a nice hotel interior to admire. The location was perfect, walking distance from the train station and close to all shops and restaurants. The dining experience was really nice, although somewhat scarce at times. Overall, a great experience with some minor room for improvement.
The hotel was the perfect base for our weekend away from home. The rooms, while quite small, were adequate for a solo business traveler. The mix of grey furniture and old wooden paneling gave the place a charming touch, but some parts seemed a little tired, like the badly worn mattress and moldy sealant in the shower. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff always ready to recommend local spots. The location was excellent, allowing easy exploration of the old town. The dining experience, while somewhat underwhelming, offered a simple but enjoyable breakfast at a nearby cafe.
I felt like I was borrowing someone's apartment in this hotel, with historical touches on the room walls and a convenient Nespresso machine. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided us with plenty of valuable information about the town. The hotel's location, overlooking a small square near the Dom, was ideal for sightseeing and shopping. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited to a nearby café with a slow service time. I wished there were more dining choices available.
Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were cozy and really quiet, with the best view on the 3rd floor overlooking the Dom tower. The service was top-notch, as the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, right in the center of the city making it ideal for exploring. However, the dining options were limited with only a few pricey choices nearby.
The hotel has a modern design with very friendly staff. The rooms feature a nice interior design but come with a few quirks like the shower and wash basin in the middle of the room, facing a large city square, requiring to draw the curtains for privacy. The location is excellent for sight-seeing and shopping, right in the city center, close to the train station.
