The hotel's ground floor room was a mix of positives with a lovely outdoor terrace and small courtyard, but the cigarette smoke smell was off-putting. The service varied from basic to over-and-above enjoyment, adding value to the experience. The location offered convenience with a tram stop nearby, yet some unfriendliness was noted. The dining experience had some disappointments but was recommended for breakfast alternatives.

Thank you for a perfect stay for us to relax. The rooms were huge, albeit a little dated, and equal in inferiority. However, it wouldn't be ideal for those planning to stay indoors all day, especially with children due to the small lounge and unappealing courtyard.

The location of the hotel is convenient with free parking and close to tram stops. The rooms, despite being overpriced, had renovated kitchen and bathroom but also a slight urine smell. The service was accommodating, although the lack of on-site presence was noticeable. Dining options were basic but included essentials. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel is a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, although suitable for a family of 5, are average at best, resembling a fifties block of flats with a fresh coat of paint. The refrigerator had an unwelcome surprise but the cigarette smell lingering in common areas was a major downside for a non-smoker. The service was helpful and prompt in addressing maintenance issues, likely led by the owner. The location, while convenient for both car and public transport, is central and close to great dining options. The dining offerings were basic, with some essential supplies for a self-made meal. The hotel's facilities are standard but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is located a little bit outside the center, but only a 10-minute walk to a nice place with several restaurants. The rooms are basic, with a 48 cm box TV and a lounge only for 2 people. They were of average cleanliness. The service was very helpful and friendly, with special touches like a box of chocolates and a Christmas card. The location, although slightly away from the city, is quiet and relaxing, close to trams and dining options. The dining experience, despite some improvements, was still poor with basic offerings. Overall, a decent choice for a relaxing stay on a budget.
