The staff were all so friendly and helpful. There was a great choice in the breakfast room and the little extras of water bottles and coffee being available throughout the day was very welcome. The rooms were very clean and beds were really comfortable. Although the pool is small it is a welcomed area for relaxing and cooling down. All in all we had a great stay and will be back.

Great hotel and in an excellent location for the train station. It is about a 15 - 20 min walk to the Old Town where there are loads of restaurants and bars. We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel choosing to use the local boulangeries which had delicious pastries. We had a triple room on the fourth floor (room 401) which overlooked the garden area. Balcony had the sun in the afternoon. Room clean and shower powerful. Beds were comfy as were the pillows. Had a fridge, coffee maker (with pods) and a kettle. Staff were very friendly and let us store our luggage as we arrived a few hours before check in at 3pm.
