Absolutely loved this hotel. The front desk staff are so friendly and helpful.
The room was large and the bed was the most comfortable of all the places we stayed in Europe. Great breakfast. A very convenient location to walk to old town and easy to access the transit system as well.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel early December as part of a break to visit the Christmas Markets - exemplary customer service at all times, thoughtful and supportive staff, lovely/well equipped room, very clean and comfortable. Lovely location with only a short walk to the centre (trams and buses stop outside the hotel if you do not wish to walk the short distance). After many years of business travel and many stays around the world, the service at this hotel was nothing less than exceptional. Our thanks to the dedicated staff and their exemplary customer focus and making our stay an absolute pleasure.
