    comfy king bed
    spacious room
    great breakfast
    slow service

    Perfect getaway spot!

    Had an awesome stay for 1 night as a couple. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a comfy king bed. Loved the river view! The breakfast was delish, but wish they had teapots available right away. Some staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, which made getting extras take a bit longer. still a fab experience!

    comfy bed
    amazing view
    polite staff

    stayed in a premium room with a river view and the experience was stunning! the amazing view was a highlight, and I loved how comfy the bed was. it’s also a plus that you can connect to the tv and watch your own streaming services. the food in the restaurant was very good, and the staff were polite and attentive.

    spacious room
    cozy bar
    friendly atmosphere
    slow restaurant service

    The hotel was ideally located near the city center, making it super easy to stroll around with family. The room was spacious and perfect for us, and we especially appreciated the friendly atmosphere. My mum loved the cozy bar area we visited every evening.

    In my wife’s opinion, the restaurant service could improve. It took too long for orders and clearing dishes, which made dining a bit frustrating for our large family.

    Family with kids enjoy it

    The room was lovely, spacious – perfect for the kids to run around. The staff worked hard and were super nice, always smiling and ready to help when I needed something.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but I’d say it was still reasonable for what we got.

    Awesome experience with fab staff

    Wow, what a lovely place! The room was super comfy, spacious, and had a great view over the river. The staff were amazing, especially those in the dining area. Breakfast was a highlight with fresh pastries that were delightful. Only wish I could’ve explored more of the local area but had to rush for a meeting.
