Reviews and Ratings
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and had a lovely view, although there was no wardrobe. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly welcomed. The location was superb, right by the river and close to the Cathedral, but the room felt a bit like a shed. The dining experience was satisfactory with delicious smoked fish options. Overall, a great value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was wonderful, with an excellent shower and a lovely view. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The location was perfect, close to all amenities and with a beautiful path along the river for a quiet stroll to the town center. The dining experience was delicious, with traditional regional homemade products that tasted like home. The facilities were impressive, meeting all my needs and more. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.
The hotel offers stunning views of the city and provides child beds for families. The shared bathrooms, especially the showers, enhance the experience. The price is considered reasonable for such value.
