If you are a world traveler.. disregard all of these poor reviews. These people are complaining about things that dont really matter to anyone but karen americans. I stayed in room 10, nice balcony... and the absolute coldest air conditioning ive ever seen in all of europe. The hotel was easy to find, less than 5 minutes from train station. Lots of food choices right outside the door. I would only recommend this hotel to friends from here on at.

What a wonderful hotel! The staff were so lovely and helpful. The rooms had an Italian feel and were spotless with a hot shower and comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices -all fresh and well prepared. Very convenient for the trams and buses and all points of interest are walkable. We all definitely book again!

Basic hotel, close to train station.

Room was good size and clean. Breakfast was average, but the standout problem for us was that all of staff was cold, unfriendly and generally unpleasant; especially the breakfast attendant. Will never stay here again.
