8Verified guest“A lovely stay – the central location made exploring easy and the airport bus stop was just a short walk away. Staff went out of their way to prepare a take-away breakfast for our early departure. The room and public areas were spotless, and we particularly liked the cozy breakfast room. The breakfast was delicious, and Natalia and the rest of the team were fantastic.”

8Verified guest“Great staff, especially Natalia. Even though the heating came on a bit late, she promptly brought a hairdryer and extra towels. The housekeeper did a wonderful job cleaning up after our wet mess. The shower stall is compact, but there's plenty of hot water. Lovely terrace and a tasty breakfast.”
