In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Walkable to the Old Town square — Guests repeatedly note the central location, with the main square about a five-minute walk away and many attractions within 20 minutes on foot.
- Quiet yet central — Despite being close to the action, the hotel sits on a quiet street, offering a peaceful night's sleep while staying just minutes from the city center.
- Breakfast with variety — The breakfast buffet is a highlight, with local dishes, fresh fruits, pastries, and good coffee, plus special diet menus available.
- Family-friendly touches — A Family Room, cots, baby pushchair, and board games make it easy for families to stay, and the games room keeps kids entertained.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining rated the weakest point — While breakfast is generally praised, the dining category scores lower than others (7/10), suggesting dinner or other meal options may not meet the same standard.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight, you'll need to arrange late arrival with the 24-hour reception.
- Airport transfer is paid — The hotel offers an airport shuttle, but it's an extra cost rather than complimentary.
- Rooms mostly twin beds — Most room types are set up with two single beds, so couples may want to confirm a double arrangement when booking.
