Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good service and amenities, but the blanket is too thick and heavy even for winter.
I enjoyed the egg sandwich from the cafe! Amenities included coffee on the 3rd floor which was fun to make. I enjoyed the balcony overseeing the park! Front desk desk was extremely help with restaurant recommendations and was very playful with my 6 year old children. Truly a hidden gem of a hotel.
Awesome place
I’ll stay here again
Rooms are spacious in a quiet area by a park and easy to get to the train station and everywhere you need to go
Comfy beds included public baths and amenities pyjamas to wear and coffee and spirits on tap I lived this stay
Very nice hotel, extremely clean with nice services as free coffee area and drinks.
Rooms are spacious and the service is great.
Location might not be the best for some guests, as it’s a bit far from certain attractions.
