An ok hotel, but the prices for food and drink were outrageous - a carefully measured 1-1/2 oz of ok red wine for about 12 euro. Good location, staff were courteous, the room nothing to cheer about. We won’t be back.

Nice stay!

Spacious room. Comfortable beds and easy check in. Rooms were ready (3) when we arrived in the morning. We did not purchase the breakfast package. Centrally located so easy to get around. As in most European hotels, there is no refrigerator or a.c. but room was comfortable in September with window open.
