Tried it so you don’t have to!

Impressed by the staff's friendliness and the stunning views from the breakfast room! The secure parking was a real bonus for those driving.

The elevators were frustratingly slow, especially during peak hours, and the breakfast options felt very basic and lacking in variety.

Had a great time with friends! The staff was super friendly, opening breakfast early for our trip. Rooms were comfortable and recently renovated. The views were stunning. It's an easy walk to local spots for delicious meals, and I recommend checking out the nearby castle as well. Overall, solid value and good vibes for a group getaway!

One downside was the noise from a large group that arrived, which made the atmosphere a bit hectic.

inconvenient check-in

The hotel features a newly renovated interior and has a fantastic bar on the top floor offering breathtaking views over the town. Breakfast was delightful, with a variety of options including delicious salmon. However, the elevators were slow during peak hours, which became a bit of an inconvenience, and I encountered noise disturbances from a large group staying at the hotel. In terms of location, it’s perfect for access to the train station, making travel to nearby cities easy.

The double room I stayed in was super spacious and comfy. Loved the large windows letting in great light but also had heavy drapes for sleeping. It was really quiet, which was perfect for resting. The bathroom had everything I needed, and the cleanliness was on point. Definitely enjoyed the views from the top-floor breakfast area too!
