Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests appreciate the hotel's clean, modern rooms, some noting they are bigger than they appear in photos, while the comfortable mattresses ensure a good rest. The hotel is conveniently located near a bus stop with easy access to the city center, and it offers parking for €15. Many enjoyed the well-priced restaurant, though some found the breakfast selection a bit sparse during peak times. The option to lock up rented bikes overnight is also appreciated.
