Excellent Stay in a Centrally Located Hotel

helpful staffexcellent servicenice experience
I found the staff helpful. They readily assisted with activity planning. They made reservations and attended to personal needs very well. Christine, Florian, Chiara, and Rosi provided excellent service . I appreciated their kindness. It contributed to a nice experience, so I would definitely return for that level of attentiveness.
I did notice some plastic flowers displayed throughout the hotel, which seemed out of place. I felt real flowers would have improved the ambiance, even if fewer were present. Otherwise, my stay was really good.
