This was an awesome hotel. 10' walk from train station and no stairs (however, there are cobblestones). The front desk staff were particularly awesome. I forget her name, but one of the ladies was so helpful when my husband needed some medical help. Very much appreciated! The only small negative is that the soap dispensers were VERY hard for me to squeeze (both shower & sink) to get soap dispensed - but I do have arthritis :( Other than that, don't hesitate to book these lovely, yet affordable hotel.

Very nice in Old Town

Excellent location less in Old Town. Only about 10-15 minute walk from the train station. Very close to shopping and restaurants. The entire town is very walkable. Breakfast was typical European and quite good. Room was clean. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Would definitely stay again.

Decent accommodation in old town

Hotel was fine. Front desk clerk was very friendly. Room was also fine - comfortable bed and clean. Good location in the old town and easy walk to the train station. The “problem” with the hotel is it was quite hot (thermostat seems to have been for decoration only) and nothing soft to absorb sound, so if someone came in late you heard them.
