Amazing Tower Views AND Great Location!

central locationrooftop towergood size
I loved the location. It was central to all the sites. The rooftop tower access was definitely a highlight (especially during sunset!). My room was also a good size and very clean, i appreciated that.
The street noise in the morning was a little disruptive due to vendor carts.

The breakfast was quite nice with varied options.
The room I received was subpar. It was quite small. The bathroom was also tiny perhaps one square meter. Half of it was a shower. The mattress was soft and the bedsprings sagged.

perfect locationspecial momentpeeling paintworn linen
The location is perfect! It is close to the main attractions from the historical city center and a short distance from the main train station. The terrace has an espectacular view of the region. I had a very special moment during my birthday there.
Our "Superior" room did not live up to its name. There was peeling paint in the bathroom! The linen was worn and threadbare. It is time to replace the mattress because it was lumpy and creaky.

Excellent Central Stay

spacious roomlocal foodscity views
My room was spacious and clean. The breakfast offered many options, including local foods and excellent coffee. I particularly enjoyed the roof terrace with its city views. It provided a perfect spot for evening drinks.
The city vendors begin setting up very early, resulting in some noise in the mornings.
