Very good hotel, it deserve a 5 star grading ! Top service from very polite professional personnel. Honestly I chose this hotel at a last minute emergency trip, and it is definitely a very good surprise. Conveniently situated near the main train station, very good fresh peaceful breakfast, silent and conformable room with full over equip super clean bathroom. I highly recommend this hotel, and I will come back.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed just one night. We received a VIP upgrade. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was clean. Our room faced the street, and there is a bar or restaurant on the other side of the street but it was not noisy. There are many restaurants around the hotel. We didn't try the breakfast because we left very early the next day. It took 10 min to get to the airport by taxi (at 5 am - may take longer with traffic). I would definitely stay again!

Excellent location, easy walk from the train station. Close to the lake, the (free) tram, and a number of good restaurants. Challenges were major construction going on right outside my room (it was incredibly noisy during my stay in March 2026, which was rough after flying all night). My room's closet was broken (you couldn't open it), as was the sink handle. But the staff were kind and thoughtful, especially the dining room staff.
