What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The hotel is very beautiful and comfortable, the room was spacious and clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was varied, but I wish there were more local specialties. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. The location is excellent, just a few minutes’ walk from the city center.”
“Fantastic hotel, short walk to and from the train station. Great location to walk to the castle and tons of restaurants around. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier and they were so helpful. We had a baby and a toddler with us and we were very happy with our stay. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and great breakfast!”
“Great location, perfect when travelling with your dog. They cater to dogs, allowed in the restaurant and you a great dog and walking path right outside the hotel and along the lake.”
