My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, I encountered significant issues with the service and dining. The staff was unhelpful during a stressful time, and the quality of the meals left much to be desired. It was a frustrating stay, and I wouldn't recommend it.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel offered clean and spacious rooms with modern furnishings and delicious breakfast options, there were significant issues with the service and management. The inattentiveness during critical times, such as no one at reception when I needed assistance, detracted from my overall experience. Additionally, the lack of warm water was a considerable downside.

I had high hopes for my stay, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The hotel was neat and clean, but the experience left a lot to be desired. I was charged significantly more for the weekend and felt misled by their claims of being close to the city center. The service was lacking, especially when it came to dealing with issues that arose during my stay.

The room was clean but overpriced at €110 without breakfast. There's also a need for improved toiletries.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While I appreciated the nice breakfast and some clean facilities, the lack of adequate service during critical times was disappointing. The location was peaceful, but I faced issues with hot water in my room, which certainly dampened my experience. Overall, there's potential, but improvements are much needed to enhance the guest experience.

During my stay, I found the hotel's cleanliness to be particularly noteworthy, and the comfort of the bedrooms was a pleasant aspect.
