The reception area is very pretty with a fish pond and open staircase. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance to a tram stop, grocery store, and other businesses... More

We stayed for three nights in the hotel before Easter (as a gift). The hotel was clean but not of a very modern style. However, the beds were comfy and the bathroom even had a window which was much appreciated. The staff at the reception was very friendly and attentive and available 24/7.
